It’s hard to find any silver lining at all in the last month’s spate of gruesome, family murder-suicide shootings. So I have to appreciate the guardian angels looking after three wives who recently survived the respective killing sprees of their husbands in Silicon Valley, California, Graham, Washington, and now Jackson County, Mississippi.

In each case, the husband was more successful in ending his own life, which at least provides some rough justice. The last case reads like a far-fetched scene from a black comedy like I Love You To Death or the ghostly series Dead Like Me.

Tammy Sexton of rural Jackson County, near Pascagoula, not only survived a gun shot through the head – she made tea afterwards. And, bloody rag to her head, even asked a responding officer if he wanted some too:

“When deputies got there … she was up walking around and talking.”

Sheriff’s Sgt. Leon Rushing said Tammy Sexton told detectives she had “just made some tea and was fine.”

Rushing said she appeared slightly disoriented but was alert and responsive to questions …

Rushing said hospital officials told him Wednesday that doctors were predicting that Tammy Sexton would make a full recovery.

Not only that, she doesn’t even need to hire a divorce lawyer.

Ms. Sexton is clearly not a Hollywood killing machine.  She seems to prefer the relaxation of a nice cuppa.  But in the indestructability department, I think you’ll agree that Arnold’s got nothing on Tammy.
