[Policeman shoots and kills son after son attacks his mother](http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/montgomery-police-sergeant-shoots-son-while-defending-wife-police-say/2014/01/30/64973086-89b6-11e3-833c-33098f9e5267_story.html?hpid=z2). The mother died later. That probably ranks pretty high on the list of shitty days.

In other cheery local news, [a man collapses in front of a fire department and the probationary firefighter refuses to help](http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/man-77-dies-after-collapsing-near-dc-fire-station-and-not-getting-immediate-aid/2014/01/29/13b44662-88fe-11e3-a5bd-844629433ba3_story.html?hpid=z1). He later dies. That’s probably way up there too.

It’s been a fucked up week 'round here.
