    I read those and AP just published an overview of the day's events in Alabama online on our local paper's website.

    This interview with the officer who lost his wife and daughter is heart-wrenching.
     
  3. As in the Geneva County shootings (I lived in Hartford for a spell back in the early 1990s when I worked for the Eagle), AP just reported that the German shooter apparently killed himself during a shootout with police.

    Gosh, thanks for the favor Mr. Sonner.

    But if you're going to post a URL at least make sure it works as a hyperlink, like this ...

    Didn't seem like you had too much trouble finding it, though.

    And my last comment was made with a smile on my face, not a scowl. I should have inserted that little smiley face thing. My bad. :) See. Like that.

    Two of the victims were cousins, one distant, of my IP -- the wife of the deputy and the lady who died at the gas station. He had left the gas station 10 minutes prior to the shooting on his way to look at a house for sale. The shooter was also a friend of the family.

    He was pretty shaken this morning.

    Loved this reader comment:

    "I propose this man was a manchurian candidate (operative) for the CIA. Probably controlled by the corrupt democratic party and “triggered” to gain support for obamas banning attempt of assault weapons."

    Newspaper comments again prove enlightening and really advance the story. Love the one as well saying if a person wants to kill someone, they'll use their bare hands if they have to, you can't prevent it. True. But would he strangle 10 people in an hour?

    If he really wants to do it, I'm sure he can find a way.

    Oh I don't know, Timothy McVeigh did pretty well for himself using fertilizer and diesel fuel. As did OJ. As did Mohammed Atta.......

    Oh I forgot, this was a shooting so the gun-control freaks need to preach to the rest of us about how guns are the root of all evil
