    Another senseless tragedy... another family grieving. Let's hope that they catch the prepretrator(s). Sincerest condolences to the family.

    If they want witnesses than they should tell them that it was an undercover cop. No doubt they would come out of the woodwork like roaches.

    No suspects, no witnesses, no motive, no news.
