"Foster, lawmen said, shot his estranged wife, Inita Berry Paige, in the back multiple times while she was holding their 18-month child, Reuben. Reuben was also wounded in the gunfire.

I did not know this about his past. Very tragic. In a way, it does put into perspective why,  throughout his otherwise twist-filled recruitment, he did make it a point to make sure that his daughter had access to daycare and was involved, at least as much as possible for a 3 (now 4, I think) year old. That's been a constant theme at most places he visited, I believe. He seems to be making sure she has something he apparently did not.
