Another day, another familial murder. When will the government acknowledge this is a social issue?

At "their" house, again. . .
The stress of living with ones parents as an adult is driving these family murders.
I never read about adult children who live separately driving to their parents house and killing them, it's always the ones who still live with them years after they should have spread their wings and flown the nest.
