GARDEN GROVE, Calif. - The longtime conductor of the Crystal Cathedral Orchestra — a composer and arranger who worked with Celine Dion (news - web sites) and John Tesh — shot himself to death at the soaring glass-and-steel church Friday after a nine-hour standoff that started just before a Christmas pageant was to begin.

Johnnie Carl, 57, got into argument Thursday evening with another employee, went back to his office and fired four shots, then barricaded himself in a bathroom and committed suicide as police officers tried to talk to him...

I wonder what the story behind the story really is. Sexual impropriety (boyfriend or girlfriend?)? Financial scandal? Psychological imbalance? Physical illness? etc...

What ever the problem was... it is apparently resolved now. May he rest in peace now.

More accurately, Mr. Carl is no longer a living "factor" in whatever the situation. The problem and/or the effects of the problem still exist for the living.

Correct.... his problem is solved. The survivors may have some additional ones...
