Shootings In South Carolina

Another mass shooting has occurred in America.
This time, it happened in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
A doctor, his wife, two grandchildren, and another were killed by a gun.
A former NFL player was deemed the culpable one.
That player was found dead from a shot self-inflicted.
This was a tragic event nobody could have predicted.
How many more unfortunate victims have to die?
It leaves many shaking their heads and asking why.

L Milton Hankins April 8, 2021 at 2:11 PM Yes, and we don't seem to have come upon a viable solution. This is one of the most troublesome things happening in America right now. Thanks for calling this to our attention. We need to hear these things until we do something about them.
