Fighting the temptation to post something wryly humorous. But I’ll just post condolences to the victims.

Why would humor even enter your mind with a story like this?

I almost didnt post this, but news is news.

From the article: "An 8-year-old girl and a woman in her 20s were hospitalized with gunshot wounds that authorities do not consider life-threatening."

This is besides the 3 who were killed.

Buchanan said Pardo was "going through some type of marital problems."

So he takes it out on a bunch of innocent people at a Christmas party. Screw him. Hope he rots.

He’ll probably eat his gun at some later date. I’ve always wished the perps of murder-suicides would do it in the reverse order.

I agree. Fry him.

And look up “wry humor.” It is a real and legitimate thing. It has helped humanity persevere for millenia.

“the entire incident is flat out bizarre”

You have to work in a hospital ER and OR to appreciate the fact that members of the knife and gun clubs perform their best on Christmas and New years Eve.

I want to know why he was ‘carrying’, to begin with.

That was mean it was premeditated.

If you read the article at the link, an 8 year old girl was injured.

It also mentioned that this Pardo was undergoing marital problems. To allow your demons to lead you to strike out and destroy others' lives is -- thankfully -- unfathomable to most.

Prayers for the victims and their loved ones.

I started to come up with lyrics to be sung to the tune of "Decks the Halls", but stopped when I got to the fourth line.

It's an absurd event. Humor is one of the normal reactions.

I know several folks who have worked in ER but was unaware of that.
