You know, I've been around for 50+ years and can't believe all the suicides and murder-suicides in the last 20 or so years; a sad state of our country!

This was seriously one of the most intense events in GR’s history. 7 dead, several pedestrians shot at and hurt.

This guy just tore a swath of chaos through the middle of town, shooting people even right in front of the Police HQ.

Thank Jesus it is over, and that more people were not hurt.

In the end it will not matter that his departure from life as he went out in a blaze of glory was drug induced, psych induced, whatever induced....more laws must be enacted against the law abiding citizens to prevent further instances like this one.

Do I really need a sarcasm tag???

Prayers for those who lost their lives tonight, especially the children, and most especially their grieving parents. Thankful for the LEO who risked their lives in this situation to bring it to an end.
