Just... awful

What's this world coming to when a nine-year-old is killed under these circumstances? My head, heart, and stomach all hurt tonight. My thoughts are with those involved and their families.

Such an absolute shame...I don't know why he kept shooting at everyone if he had only one intended target (not that I'm excusing that either, of course) but I guess you can't reason with crazy.

From what I gather, he wasn't all that mentally stable. A few places have mentioned things he posted on his Facebook before he did it, and some interviews with people who knew him point to that. That's no excuse either, of course. What really gets me is I read yesterday that that nine-year-old was born on September 11th and had her picture published in the Faces of Hope book.

Yeah, I've been watching/reading more about it and he definitely wasn't, he was on a mental health review from his college amongst other things. It's so pointless to bother to do these things, I don't know why anyone thinks it's going to make a difference, all they do is put people through hell and get themselves in trouble.

I hadn't heard that about being on a mental health review, but I guess it just adds to what I'd been hearing already. Definitely not mentally stable, then. I don't get it either. Especially if politics really were what was behind it, doing it at a supermarket? Come on. I know she was out in public then, but that means you're dragging people into it who didn't have anything to do with it in the first place. I guess looking for logic in something like that is fruitless, though.
