Why would you ever need a gun at the optometrist’s office?

Because you never know if the receptionist is having a spat with her convicted-murderer baby-daddy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. –
A gunman shot two people inside a Rivergate vision center Wednesday afternoon before turning the gun on himself.

Metro police said Henry Talley, 30, entered the Visionworks located at 1701 Gallatin Pike around 2:15 p.m. and opened fired on his estranged girlfriend, Ronkeisha Briley, an employee at the store, after a brief confrontation.

According to authorities, Talley was arrested for domestic assault in July after he punched Briley in the face. The couple is said to have a child together.

Talley was also arrested in 2002 for voluntary manslaughter. He received a 15-year sentence, which was served, in part, in a community corrections program.

Authorities said Talley has previous domestic assault convictions, too, as well as convictions for cocaine and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

But I’m sure that this could’ve been prevented if we banned private firearm sales, right?

    That used to be a nice area when I lived in Antioch. I’d stop for lunch at the Calhouns or Pargos while on my way to or from Goidettsvilke and Hendersonville.
