I was thinking the same thing. I remember back in 2005-2006, we saw these things happen with more frequency in the SOF community. At the time, a shooting had taken place with some guys in 5th or 10th GRP (don't remember exactly), and then a student from the Q Course shot at his estranged wife (she lived), shot a 7th SFG guy (he lived) and then shot himself.
At the end of the day, "work-life balance" is just a buzz word commanders like to say, but no one has truly been able to solve this problem. Guys deploy, train, and deploy again. After a time, some folks just can't handle that AND their "regular" life problems that come along. It's tough all around.
