This is sad, I'll give anyone that concession. However, I call BS on this story! There aren't any guns in NY! How could this possibly happen?

/sarc

Truthfully though, this is tragic, esp. considering the randomness of the act.

[BenLurkin]

Uncivilized behavior.

"I know in my heart that that was my gem," her dad, Cordell Baker, told WNBC-TV. "She was better than diamonds, better than pearls. She was something God sent me."

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Amityville horror....lots more to the story though....I'm guessing.

Why, they hitchhike in from eeeeevil red states such as Texas and Wyoming to do their dirty work in innocent, unsuspecting blue states. I'm surprised you didn't know that!

I was going to quote that too, very lovely really. But does her dad realize that she was something some bum who was at his house took away? If the shot was fired from the backyard, it should not be too hard to track down the murderer.

I've got family in Suffolk County, there were two little gals killed in Chicago similarly. All together now: BUSH'S FAULT! (except it is not).

It's society's fault.

New York needs to build a fence to keep out guns. Oh, that's right, fences sell guns in New York.

We'll hear it was a christian, crusading against the evils of dancing/

Prayers sent for the family of the girl. Hope the perp is punished for his crime, at least.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

No illegal drugs in NY either, the drug war has been won on that front also. /S

[csvset]

People in the neighborhood said they believe the shooters may be gang members who were thrown out of the house.

As a kid, I always thought Paladin's first name was Wire.

Thought it was a real strange name...
