This morning as I read a little bit news online I came across an article concerning a 16 year old boy who waling into a library in New Mexico and started randomly shooting at the customers and the staff.
The end result of it all was that two were left dead, both of them were employees of the library, and 4 were wounded. Of those wounded one was a 10 year old boy.
When the police arrested the teen they were unable to ascertain a reason for the shooting.
It leaves one wondering why all the violence, why all the rage, why this need to kill?
It also makes me wonder why these killers are getting younger?
Have we as a society failed these children?

My daughter informed me of this early yesterday. It hit her hard....she is a librarian. They have had to deal with violence several times this year.

@AbbyGreenhill social media has changed our lives and I think maybe not for the better.

That's horrible. Children are being influenced by the society and another is the violence they see on movies.
