Domestic violence can rear its ugly head just about anywhere, including at a high school graduation party.

Such was the case at a home in Mesa when a 37-year-old guy allegedly got into a fight with his ex-wife at a party.

Instead of leaving, which is what many normal people do when they get mad, he went out to his vehicle and got a gun, according to an Associated Press report.

Surely the graduate will remember the party forever, and not in a good way.
