https://www.ksl.com/?sid=46375241&nid=148&title=plane-crashes-into-house-in-payson-pilot-dies

Payson, Utah
A man died when he flew a small airplane into his own home early Monday morning following a domestic dispute, police said.

The deceased is identified as Duane Youd, according to Payson Police Sgt. Noemi Sandoval.

Police arrested Youd about 7:30 p.m. Sunday following a domestic dispute in American Fork Canyon, Sandoval said. He was released from the Utah County Jail on bail, then followed procedure in requesting a police escort to retrieve belongings at the home near 600 E. Canyon Road about midnight.

A short time later, Youd flew a plane belonging to a company he had worked for from the Spanish Fork airport and crashed it into his home about 2:30 a.m. Youd died on scene, and his wife and a juvenile inside the home escaped safely, Sandoval said.

This guy was trying to be homicidal and suicidal. I'm glad he failed at the homicide.
