The gun violence insanity has erupted too close to home.

Two people are dead and 14 more injured — some of them critically — after an overnight shooting at a party called to “celebrate” a college football homecoming game at Texas A&M University-Commerce. The shooting occurred at a party venue in Greenville, which is just about 23 miles or so east along U.S. 380 of where I live with my wife.

The suspect remains at large.

Hunt County sheriff’s officials are scouring the area on the hunt for the moron who opened fire.

It has been reported that the university did not sanction the party. I’m not sure why that’s relevant, but I guess it is at some level.

The relevant aspect of this story is another shooter has opened fire in a crowded venue and taken two more lives of unsuspecting and innocent victims.

When in the name of a civilized society will this gun madness stop … if ever?
