Benjamin Sebena was charged Thursday with the Christmas Eve shooting death of his wife, Wauwatosa Police Officer Jennifer L. Sebena.
According to a criminal complaint, Benjamin Sebena told police he had been stalking his wife for days and that, after lying in wait for her for hours, shot her early Monday as she emerged from a break at a Wauwatosa Fire Department station on Underwood Ave.
He said he shot her in the back of her head with his own handgun and then shot her several times in the face with her service revolver, according to the complaint.

RIP Officer Sebena
The description makes it sound like he was filled with hatred for her; something very personal. What a tragic loss ...
I would bet the police dept suspected him right away because she was shot in the face. It was personal. Very sad sorry.
what was the motive?
She was a trained and armed peace officer, and this psycho got the drop on her.
If we go through the charade and enormous expense of putting an armed guard in every school, it will only take one fairly methodical psycho to observe the security measures at a facility, get the drop on the guard, and then go on his rampage.
And then the chorus will begin: "LaPierre's solution doesn't work. Time to confiscate!"
Hope the prosecutor has some additional tools available since it was an on-duty shooting rather just a straight-up domestic murder.
Her husband had been stalking her. He shot her in the back of the head and then multiple times in the face. Pure premeditated murder.

Well, hell, it’s only right. Don’t we have a fully Board Certified physician on duty in every school? Or do we just train people for CPR? Duh.
Bad analogy....you can always get the "drop" on a police officer in a particular situation, but if the bad guys thought that even half the staff in a school were armed, would they be inclined to cause trouble there???/I think not. You go to where you know there are no guns....if you even suspect that there may be 25 guns against you, you might not go there
True that......wounds to the face are very personal. I’d bet the police suspected the husband right away.

Althogh he referred to cops in his speech, it is my understanding that behind the scenes his staff is thinking more in line with trained school personnel.
That would make it impossible for the bad guy to know who would hit him, this making it much more dangerous for him.
Why singular? Why can't the "armed guards" be part of the administration, faculty and staff?
Just wait until hussein hears of this and puts assault handguns on the ban list.
“Why singular? Why can’t the “armed guards” be part of the administration, faculty and staff?”
EXACTLY. We don’t just train ONE staff member in CPR, do we? Besides, why not keep the psychos guessing?
generally when the trauma is on the face and its excessive, the attacker knows the victim, and it’s personal.
“Bad analogy....you can always get the “drop” on a police officer in a particular situation, but if the bad guys thought that even half the staff in a school were armed, would they be inclined to cause trouble there???”
Bad analogy, again.
I may be wrong but I can’t see how an analogy can be draw between this event and a school shooting, other than the shooters had (have) severe mental problems. This was a personal thing against his wife. God rest her soul.
Two questions: How is a non-authorized person going to get inside the school to observe procedures? And are you saying there should be no armed personnel to protect the students?
