My Uncle shot his wife, then himself. I consider this not murder-suicide as police record states, but an act of love. Uncle loved Aunt, no one can deny. A serious of strokes, put her in a bed, hardly moving. Then Uncle got his own medical problems, soon he would not be able to care for her. The idea of someone else tending her very physical needs was something neither could accept. They both decided on this. What love he had to "rescue" his wife then do it to himself. This was an act of love.
