Michael Kenneth Turner Allegedly Kills Estranged Girlfriend, Tiffany Hulsey & her Roommate, Deanna Griffin, Then Commits Suicide

I am unnerved when I hear about incidents of domestic violence in the news. Suwanee (GA) police said Michael Kenneth Turner, 40, of Lawrenceville, forced his way into the apartment of his estranged girlfriend, Tiffany Hulsey, 24, and shot to death both her and her roommate, Deanna Griffin, 36, before turning the gun on himself, according to law enforcement.

According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, officers responding to a shots fired call just before 8:30 p.m. Tuesday found two women and a man dead in a unit at the Amli at McGinnis Ferry complex, according to Suwanee police Capt. Clyde Byers. "We believe that he shot both of the females and then turned the gun on himself," Byers said. Source: AJC

The death of these two women is a real tragedy that could have been avoided. I don't know the circumstances surrounding the relationship of the couple, but something went terribly wrong. I would urge any woman, or man, who is going through domestic violence, which doesn't have to be just physical. It can also be mental, among others, please seek help.
