It is always a tragedy when someone is killed for no reason. The only bit of information I would like to see, but is almost always missing is...where did the guns come from? Who sold them or gave them to the kids involved. This a critical bit of information if we are to stop these types of crimes. My feeling is that the cops don't give a shit. They have the gun(s), they have the shooter(s) and they have a body, case closed..oh yea, they have the NRA to blame it on.

I know it is sometimes hard to trace these guns used in crimes but it's not impossible. If we weren't wasting resources busting pot smokers we might have funding to dig into these types of killings just a bit further.
