Yes, that makes sense; I don't want to spoon feed readers either. But if I didn't say the guy was "despondent," how could readers figure out that he killed himself? And I wanted the story to include the irony that a pro-gun guy killed himself with a gun. How could I tell my story using context and actions if I only used "he" to describe the shooter? Haha, will you take this challenge and show me? :)
