My youngest daughter contacted me from school this afternoon; the buildings were on "lock-down," because there had been a shooting nearby.

I checked the news: a man had shot a father and son, after an incident of road rage.

Within a few minutes, I was on the phone with my Aunt. My cousin and his son had pulled over to let the guy by. But he stopped, walked over to their car, and spit on my cousin. My cousin asked what his problem was? The guy pulled out a hand gun, and open-fired.

My cousin is in surgery as I write this. His son is dead.

They are on the maternal side of my family. In our way, male cousins are known by the same word as "brother" (females as "sister&quot . I had been at my cousin/brother's home last week. He's a retired carpenter; his son was employed as a carpenter. Both are laid-back, gentle people.

I just can't believe it.
