This time it wasn't Detroit, it was Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs? Yep, it surely is. This time we don't have to thank goodness we're not Detroit or even Chicago, with their violence and shootings, it's Colorado Springs, Colorado. Go figure. The report out this morning: "Police: 4 die in Colorado Springs shootings." A series of shootings in Colorado Springs has left four people dead and two injured, police said. The three bursts of gunfire Wednesday night were unrelated and occurred in different areas of the city, police Sgt. David Edmondson said. I want, sorely, to believe we aren't turning into this nationwide, lawless, gun-toting, shoot 'em up country of disgruntled, financially-strapped people out here who work out our frustrations with handguns and/or other weapons. I'd like to think we're smarter and stronger than that. Here's hoping. Link: http://news.yahoo.com/police-4-die-colorado-springs-shootings-083320359.html
