Having jumped out of the hotel room her kids were being held in the first thing they're going to do is try to move a bunch of distraught children. May even make more sense to cut their losses and finish off the witnesses before making their escape. I don't buy that a mother would see LEAVING her children as an option. How would attaching the note to something else and throwing it through the window have been any worse. If she got shot it has to be better than falling to your death. Also, have you seen the glass in most hotels? You would need to be determined to get through it. It’s a neat idea but I don’t see how killing herself helped her kids.

I have to give credit, though, to the folks at EDF who suggested a couple of small changes that made this little tale stronger and even a few words shorter. Thanks everyone for your comments.
