Sister of Venus and Serena ( tennis) gunned down in LA

[Hildy]

There was a picture of her in this month's PEOPLE magazine, a feature on siblings of stars. She was 31 and a nurse. Tragedy.

I don't like the dad, but I doubt this is his fault.

[Blue Screen of Death]

William's was killed with a high powered assault weapon.

Is there any such thing as a low powered assault weapon?

[goodnesswins]

You mean they did NOT have a LICENSE for that rifle?

[FormerlyAnotherLurker]

If you're getting picky - What time Zone?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

The police are stating that she had a 'confrontation' with an SUV.

[goodnesswins]

Fox guy just said there was "some kind of confrontation with an SUV!"......sheesh.....don't these idiots know that SUV's DO NOT confront people.....

[Lauratealeaf]

How can you watch without puking all over yourself?? :-x

I am always careful to put on a plastic trash bag as a bib. Thank heavens Fox pulled out of the coverage.

FOX News now hyping "high-caliber AK-47 assault rifle" over and over. How convienient for the VPC, no?

[Hildy]

Do you think that maybe she didn't want to leave? According to PEOPLE magazine this week, which featured a picture of her, she's been acting as the girls' personal assistant. She's older, so she probably wanted to stay connected to her neighborhood.

[Hildy]

Suspicious timing? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Does everything HAVE to be a conspiracy?

[alisasny]

Well I guess her choice to stay in the area proved good.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Don't use up all the tinfoil...

Wrong place/wrong time kinda deal.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

Crime like this can happen in any type neighborhood.

[Hildy]

What does that mean? Some people stay in an old neighborhood to help. She was a nurse. Yes, it turned out badly for her. But your tone is insulting, and I know you don't mean to be.

Oh, you mean the ones who have convictions and actually hold to them. Maybe it is time for a name change "staytrue".

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Just damn.

[Luke Skyfreeper]

On second thought, make that: just damn, damn, damn.

[prairiebreeze]

Have a nice scream did you? Personally I was thinking more along the lines of a stalker or psychotic news-creep who saw the article and thenstruck rather than any conspiracy. I see that was one of your first thoughts though..
