Let’s add Virginia Beach, Va., to the list of American communities torn asunder by the madness associated with gun violence and the multiple casualties that result from it.
Eleven people were gunned down today at a municipal building; the gunman engaged in a fire fight with police, who then shot him to death.
He reportedly was a municipal employee. The motive for killing his colleagues has yet to be determined. His name hasn’t been released by the authorities; I won’t identify this lunatic on this blog when his name becomes known.
What in the world do we do?
That is the question of the day. It’s always the question when these tragedies unfold.
I am sickened to be core at the senselessness of it all.
The deaths of those individuals is enough to break one’s heart. The inaction that likely will come from Congress — let alone from the White House — only will pulverize my heart’s broken pieces.
Meanwhile, the list of communities where citizens will shed tears in the wake of future tragedies, I am quite certain, only will grow.
