In Washington state, in July, a woman filed a restraining order against her 47-year-old former "boyfriend" after he allegedly threatened her.

Last week he allegedly killed her by shooting her three times in the back with a shotgun.

He immediately surrendered to police who saw the shooting and is in jail with $50 million bail. He has not yet been charged.

He is a former police officer who left the force because of disability. He is also reportedly under investigation by the FBI for fraud.

This is, sadly, a frequent occurrence. Restraining orders don't work and often enrage the subject of the restraining order.

People are not informed on how little a restraining order does, and what little it allows the cops to do. People should get Protective orders. That helps alot more.

These things vary by state. This case was in Washington, and I have no idea how restraining orders are supposed to work there.

I think the fact that the man was willing to shoot his ex-girlfriend in front of police officers and other witnesses shows that pieces of paper do not stop deranged killers.
