And So The Crisis Continues

As if the senseless rampage in North Carolina, in which seven elderly nursing home residents and their nurse were gunned down in cold blood, wasn't enough, the horror show continues in California:

An apparent murder-suicide in an upscale neighborhood of Silicon Valley that left three children and three adults dead had police searching Monday for a possible motive and sorting out the relationships between the suspected gunman and his victims.

A woman in her mid-30s managed to escape from the house where officers later found five bodies in a "very horrific" scene, police Capt. Mike Sellers. She was hospitalized in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds, Sellers said.

Authorities said a neighbor called police around 8:30 p.m. Sunday after hearing a noise outside and finding the woman bleeding on a sidewalk in the Santa Clara community of Rivermark, about seven miles northwest of San Jose, Lt. Phil Cooke said.

Officers discovered the bodies of a 10-year-old boy, a 4-year-old girl, a man in his 30s and a woman in her early 20s scattered inside the three-story town house - all of them shot dead, Sellers said. The suspected gunman, a man in his 40s, was found on the top floor, dead from a self-inflicted wound, he said.

A toddler was still alive when paramedics arrived but died overnight at a hospital, Sellers said.

There was no need for this, and except for this nation's perverted gun love, it would have been avoided. I just hope no one argues that if someone was carrying, it would have been so bad. What? They propose to arm four year old girls?

And to show how stupid people can be when armed, there is also this story:

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Police said a customer fired one or two shots into a Salt Lake City McDonald's after the driver of the car he was in was told the restaurant was not serving lunch yet. Police said the female driver of a white Dodge Intrepid pulled up to the drive-thru and ordered from the lunch menu early Sunday but was told only breakfast was available.

Police said two men then got out of the car and one pulled a sawed-off shotgun from the trunk, shooting into the drive-thru window once or twice, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Monday. No one was injured.
