I don't know how much play our shooting incident got in the national or international news, but in case anybody heard about it and was worried, I was not touched in any way except for being in the same town and having a friend who works at the School of Public Health. (In case the news didn't reach you, there was a murder-suicide at the School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina today. Pretty tense for a while there since all anyone knew was that shots had been fired.)
About the closest thing to anything intelligent that I can say about that is that it's ironic how many people are worried about Sharia law coming to this country and how little they notice the damage that's been done by the NRAia law we're already under. I guess until every single person in this country knows someone who has been involved in a workplace shooting, there's little hope for change. And little even then; they'll just blame mental illness.
