Senseless

ms

This man kills 3, possibly 4, people and wounds 3 others before escaping from the courthouse where he's being tried for rape. Where did he get the gun? From a female sheriff's deputy. He over powered her, took her gun, shot her, killed 3 others, car jacked a reporter and got away.

There are some obvious conclusions a person could draw from the way the sheriff's department provides security, but that's really not appropriate to talk about right now.

They just arrested the guy about a half hour ago.

I feel terrible for those killed merely doing their job.

Tom,
Just the other day, during our crime and violence unit, I asked my high school kids if any of them ever thought about going into the profession of law enforcement....silence...and then uncomfortable laughter...and then a heated discussion. "Senseless" was one of the words used as well.
