LELAND, N.C. (WECT) - It's every mother's worst nightmare. On Sunday, April 15, Shawn Winkler shot himself in the head in the garage of his Leland family home. He was 30 years old.
"Shawn started out as a very happy, loving boy, " said his mother Sarah Winkler in a document she sent to WECT news.
On the day Shawn killed himself, Sarah said he began acting erratically and trashing his room. Shawn, armed with a gun, told his mother he was going to Holly Ridge to kill his girlfriend and five others. Sarah said Sean believed everyone was in on a scheme to drive him crazy.
"That's when I heard a pop sound. It sounded like those plastic poppers at New Year's. The next thing I know, officers were running around everywhere putting up crime scene tape," Winkler explained.
"I was told Sean shot himself in the head in the garage. He was still breathing when he got to the hospital. Once at the hospital, he tested positive for marijuana and meth," Winkler said.

Vigilanties don’t need trials. Drug dealers are known entities
It would be a better world if drug dealers continually feared for their lives instead of people who live near their activities.
30 year old son living at home. mommy. ‘nuff said.
I agree but imagine how the MSM would play that as well as our courts. We are paralyzed from ever returning to where common sense reigns by this leftist experiment brought on by feminism.
“Steppenwolf, (God damn) The Pusher”
God, damn the pusher, man.
Actually, I learned this at home. In a voluntarily-single-mother home. So I know from the inside just how turned-to-11 messed up the phenomenon is. It’s child abuse, pure and simple, no matter how well intentioned anyone would be.
both were extremely sad
I won’t paint all users as victims but this opioid epidemic is caused in large part by innocent people being over-prescribed for pain and ending up as junkies; doctors push pills that they know are creating addicts from normal people.
If your kid ends up a murderous-thinking, drugged-up, suicide by 30, you face a lot of shame, guilt and grief.
Pointing the fingers at others doesn’t fool many.
I do also. Some people are too quick to blame parents. Sometimes rightfully, at other times not. We have friends who were good parents, seemed to do everything right. One of their children got involved with the wrong crowd. They were set to move, even though it created hardships. Before they did, he died from an overdose.
You're the first person I ever met who would consider their mother a whore and wish a pox on her..............
With that being said, based on your comments, your Christian upbringing was a waste of time.
Perhaps the exceptionality of the sentiment (to you, by the way - very common sentiment among survivors of single motherhood) will help you understand the seriousness of the issue.
or abortionist??
This can NOT be true; for we do SO much to SUBSIDIZE them!!
I’m not grieving. I think making drug dealing a capital offense is a fine idea. To be carried out using a lethal injection of whatever the convicted perp was peddling.
