1. 'Officers have dismissed terrorism as the motive for the shooting,

according to local radio, and reports suggest it may have been a settling of accounts in a local dispute linked to drugs.'

2. Seems like the warmer spring weather brings out the horror

I know that terror attacks happen all year long, but seems like they flare up in the spring months. Prayers for the victims and their families.

4. Not to minimize it, but incidents like this happen just about every night in many American cities...

...and it's not terrorism but gang warfare and drug related.

One can't escape stuff like this no matter where one lives.
