4. The local news reported it on FB and 5 hours later it only had 2 reactions - both of them laughing.

Not even a thought and prayer from the pro-lifers.

6. It's so frequent in the US, that it's often a punch line

Americans have grown numb to the idea that any of us can die by gunshot anytime anywhere.

9. so sorry for the victims

How vile to kill children. How vile to lack that humanity.

11. The shooter probably killed the child first.

To increase the agony of the parent they shot next.

Is it wrong to guess the shooter was the male?

That is usually the story.

He may or may not have been the parent, or just the new boyfriend.

13. Follow up news will have details

The media will make sure to focus on the shooter, the shooter's needs, their health and so on. The victims will be forgotten on the pile of bodies that is growing higher every single day.

10. I'm gonna bet

divorce/custody/child support situation was involved in this, not that it was a random act.

16. And we thought paying child support by dumping 80,000 pennies on the ex's lawn was a sick move.

17. Horrible heartbreaking story, I am still in shock.

The man walked up to the little boy and just shot him, the grandmother was only a few steps away and tried to fight the gunman who shot her in the process. Then he just calmly stepped away and shot himself. He had been posting on Facebook that he wanted to shoot children and his ex-wife knew he was acting crazy & paranoid, yet no one spoke up before this tragedy. Everyone knew, no one said anything. I can barely wrap my head around this, I am in tears.
