I'm a bit unsure how to frame this and title this thread... but.... (also, I know we have quite a few folks not from the USA here, maybe the majority aren't). I hope it's okay with Duncan styling the thread like this. I'd welcome any changes, like "title of new article must be in subject line" or any other modifications.
In Scottsdale Arizona, a forensic psychiatrist was gunned down Friday, Steven Pitt. Pitt is known for working on the JonBenet case (little girl beauty queen that got a lot of headlines) and also on Columbine.
As if this is not enough, the next day, Saturday, at office buildings in Scottsdale, 2 paralegals, women, were shot and killed... and there is even another murder they are linking to this in Scottsdale too. Apparently, all of the murders are probably linked.

Now, some news article quotes backing up what I wrote above:
Initial story:
Arizona forensic psychiatrist who assisted in JonBenet Ramsey case gunned down outside his office
Arizona police are on the hunt Saturday for a suspect believed to have gunned down an Arizona forensic psychiatrist who helped prosecutors with investigations in the high-profile 1996 killing of JonBenet Ramsey.
Steven Pitt, who also helped Phoenix police catch an attacker known as the "Baseline Killer" ? who terrorized the city in summer 2006, was killed Thursday outside his office in Scottsdale.
Witnesses told police they heard a loud argument before shots were fired, although Sgt. Vince Lewis said he had no information on whether the killing was connected to the 59-year-old's work.

2nd story, updated Saturday:
Police: Phoenix killings of psychiatrist, 2 women linked
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. ? Authorities say the fatal shootings of two paralegals in a Phoenix suburb are related to the killing of a well-known forensic psychiatrist in Phoenix, and police are investigating if a fourth homicide is related.
Scottsdale police Sgt. Ben Hoster says the killings Friday of 48-year-old Veleria Sharp and 49-year-old Laura Anderson are connected to the shooting death a day earlier of Dr. Steven Pitt.
The women and Pitt were shot either inside or around their Scottsdale-area offices.

So what does one think? I thought at first, no, this doesn't have anything to do with JonBenet Ramsey but it is probably someone with a gripe with the Psychiatrist Pitt, the suspect was probably sent to prison or something. Then, I heard someone say "organized crime hits". That seems possible too.
I hope presenting this story in this manner is not disrespectful to the deceased. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
Lots on the web on this, I'm thinking I'll be reading about the suspect being apprehended at any time... though, in turn, if these were professional hits, maybe not. Someone's really upset at these people. It is likely, we are not being told details (obviously duh). The 4 murders seem to be related. I haven't looked into the 4th murder of a man that much... but that is in the news too. He was shot I believe at an office building too on Saturday.
