Thank you. The details are still unclear to me, but I do know that during the fight, his girlfriend had a gun in her hands, and she shot him. Apparently she claims it was accidental and she didn't know the gun was loaded. But a lot of his friends say it was deliberate, because in her Facebook she had said she wanted to kill him, the day before, and it didn't seem like she was joking.
I wish I knew how to feel. I didn't know Dirk as well as most of his friends. But he cooked me dinner a few times, and he taught me about different wines, and because of him I fell in love with Brom (the artist/author). I can't really feel anything, not even numbness. I'm just confused.
I feel like I'm who should be saying sorry, to Dirk's other friends who knew him better. You know how it is, when someone you knew but weren't that close to dies, and suddenly you don't know what to do as his loved ones fall apart around you?
Thats really sad. For such a great, eccentric yet friendly man to die so young. :-( It sounds very much that it was at the hands of his girlfriend as they had split up earlier that day and she had the gun in her hand.
At least you can cherish the memory that you got to spend some time with him while he was here on earth and I hope they get whoever it was that shot him! >:-(
Forensics should have all the answers, but it'll take a long time, and Dirk's friends really want answers. Those articles were written very carefully and left out a lot of detail about the crime. The girl who shot him has been institutionalized and I think may be charged with either Murder One or Murder Two, depending on what forensics finds. It's unbelievable how many friends Dirk had. People in dozens of countries are mourning!
