Oh my goodness are you serious? What's going on? Seriously, I am so tired to be reading stories like this on a daily basis, our country is almost a war zone.

What is happening to this country? Are we in some sort of era of shooting and killings like the bootleg days? We need to get a grip of our gun laws and find out who owns guns before its too late.

Really saddened to read this, just terrible when it should have been such a happy occasion... And with 2-3 gunmen, you can't even begin to fathom how (or why) something like this could even be hatched between so many people.
I hope they find the gunmen soon.

Insanity is following happy occasions in America. Its like no one wants us to be happy anymore, every event that's held we have to guess if its going to be a shootout.

I know Aliza, it seems to have been a really bad start of the first half of 2013 for the US... I really wish and hope for a peaceful second half of 2013. It just shouldn't be like this, especially when people are choosing to wreak havoc!
