Here we go again? Hopefully not

This morning near Seymour, Indiana some nutcase with a rifle shot 2 people traveling on I-65 and killed one and seriously injuring the 2nd.

State Police have no suspects at this time. Why is it people do this? Where is the satisfaction of being a coward and shooting innocent people? I just don't understand. hpg

Not to lessen that shooters responsiblity HPG, but the world is full of stresses, creating angry people. Ever drive in a populated area during rush hour? Not a fun experience. There are strong negatives out there, and some people just can't handle that, so they snap. It is likely to get worse without positives in their lives.

A little positivity goes a long way in life. You never know what type of day someone is having. Sometimes that positive word is the only one they will hear on that day.

Now, for that shooter, if it wasn't the rifle it would have been a car incident, a beating in the park, or a behavioral incident in the vegetable section of the market. It was going to happen.

EDITED for spelling.

I don't think this was one of those stress related things. Another shooting, same type has happened again near Indianoplis a couple hours later on I-65. hpg

The alleged Sniper was arrested today by Indiana State Police. He had 4 shootings, 1 dead, 1 injured. 4 vehicles shot up.

Turned out to be a 17 year old high schooler from Crawford County, Indiana....Sad hpg
