Yes to both.
Several friends and relatives in the military. They don't talk about it and I don't ask.
Guy we used to party with moved to Atlanta many years ago. Found out later he killed a dude and cut him up high on drugs one night.
Friend of my brother's shot and killed a burglar when he was sixteen years old. He kept a framed copy of the newspaper article on the living room wall.
Friend from high school shot his girlfriend and then himself. She had cancer and was in the last stages. He left a note on the mailbox to call the police. Said he couldn't bear the thought of living without her. Always one of the most laid back guys I ever knew, and a hell of a guitar player.
Guy I worked with for several years found out his much younger wife was cheating on him. Killed her and her grandfather when he caught up to her at the grandparents house. He's still in jail.
Another three or four drunk (or drugged) driving.
