The man walked up to the little boy and just shot him, the grandmother was only a few steps away and tried to fight the gunman who shot her in the process. Then he just calmly stepped away and shot himself. He had been posting on Facebook that he wanted to shoot children and his ex-wife knew he was acting crazy & paranoid, yet no one spoke up before this tragedy. Everyone knew, no one said anything. I can barely wrap my head around this, I am in tears.
