Murder In The Heartland

Yesterday in Omaha, Nebraska, a guy killed shoppers at a mall and then killed himself. I'm always puzzled why things like this happen. My thoughts have been with those people who lost a friend or family member. My thoughts have also been with those people who witnessed the shootings.

And recently, here in Houston, Texas, a guy killed a store employee at a mall prior to the store opening. As it turns out, he didn't know her. Like the people in Omaha, she was an innocent bystander.

When something like this happens, I am often reminded of the words of Robert F. Kennedy:
No one can be certain who next will suffer from some senseless act of bloodshed.

Ye...such things often happen with people having mental disorders...they are in very mental strain that they even don't know what they were doing....
These people don't have control over their mind....probably that's also becuse of the conditions they grew or were brought up.....
Also search the people who have mental disorders by time

That saddens me beyond belief. It could have very well been anyone of us there or family. It is so scary that this is becoming apparent so often in our lives.
