(62,530 posts)A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to and the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song 'bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free
One time one night in America
A lady dressed in white with the man she loves
Standing along the side of their pick up truck
A shot rang out in the night
Just when everything seemed right
Another headline written down in America
The guy that lived next door in three o five
Took the kids to the park and disappeared 'bout half past nine
Who will ever know how much she loved them so
That dark night alone in America
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song 'bout the brave in this land here of the free
One time one night in America
Four small boys playing ball in the parking lot
A preacher, a teacher, and the other became a cop
A car skidded into the rain
Making the last little one a saint
One more light goes out in America
A young girl tosses a coin in the wishing well
She hopes for a heaven while for her there's just this hell
She gave away her life to become somebody's wife
Another wish unanswered in America
People having so much faith
Die too soon while all the rest come late
We write a song that no one sings
On a cold black stone where a lasting peace will finally bring
The sunlight plays upon my window pane
I wake up to a world that's still the same
My father said to be strong
That a good man could never do wrong
In a dream I had last night in America
A wise man was telling stories to me
About the places he had been to and the things that he had seen
A quiet voice is singing something to me
An age old song 'bout the home of the brave in this land here of the free
One time one night in America
One time one night in America
One time one night in America

(10,136 posts)there seems to be heavy suggestions that this was a murder-suicide.
Obviously, most sites are more interested in being first to report as opposed to reporting accuracy.

Authorities declined to answer questions at the news conference, and they did not release the victims names or say whether the women were students. Police said they found the two women dead and the baby wounded after a student called them at 10:17 a.m.

Darius Myers, a freshman studying nursing at A&M-Commerce, said the feeling on campus Monday wasnt new to him.
Its kind of like deja vu, he said, recalling a similar gloomy feeling cast over the campus in October, when two people were fatally shot at a party celebrating the schools homecoming week in nearby Greenville.

The October incident was at a party miles away from Commerce but the party-goers were somehow affiliated with TAMU-Commerce.
Now this one, 4 months later.
