Just some of the headlines this morning:
3 injured in shooting at Hampton University in Va.
Officials: 2 Fla. sheriff's deputies fatally shot
Net cast for US prof suspected in fatal shootings
Here's the first one:
HAMPTON, Va. - Three people at Hampton University were hospitalized after a shooting in a dorm, a spokeswoman for the school said Sunday.
Police believe the shooter is a former student who was one of the three injured early Sunday, spokeswoman Yuri Rodgers Milligan said.
In the second:
CRESTVIEW, Fla. - A man accused of beating his wife killed two north Florida sheriff's deputies who caught up with him at a shooting range, then fled across the county line, where he died in an exchange of gunfire with deputies, authorities said.
The third:
ATHENS, Georgia - Authorities from Georgia to Texas had little to go on Sunday as they searched for a University of Georgia professor suspected of shooting his ex-wife and two other men to death outside a theater near campus.
Neighbors watched Saturday as SWAT team members, guns drawn, swarmed their tidy middle-class suburb about 7 miles (11 kilometers) from the campus looking for 57-year-old George Zinkhan.
My point?
That's a lot of stories--3--for one Sunday morning, all concerning people with guns, going on rampages.
We simply have too many guns, they're way too easy to get and we're much too violent a culture.
It's not even Summer yet.
Wait until the combination of heat,humidity, unemployment, anger and guns comes together.
I wouldn't want to be a police officer this year.
