what is the comment about the shooting of a 13 year-old as "...now it's really getting personal"? Is that to say that shooting adults in NOT a personal offense or a attack on peaceful society?

Apparently, you missed the news conference wherein this remark was taken. AFTER Moose said, something to the effect of: "not that the other victims were any less innocent, or less valuable, but shooting a child? . . . you {the killer} have stepped over the line . . . now we're killing kids? . . . this is personal, now, it's really getting personal." He was obviously not degrading or placing less meaning on the lives of the other people....he was looking at the fact that a CHILD has been shot and almost killed. IT MOVED HIM.
