And maybe that grandmother wanted to tell the world about her granchildren and what they were like and their sweet smiles and everything.

I'm a new grandmother and I just can't imagineSmiley Sad

It's a shame he didn't get some help while serving in the Air Force. I have no idea why he was dishonorably discharged, or if he had seen active duty

 

With all of the stress on our military men and women, I hope  the gov is giving them the help they need ,emotionally as well as physically.

 

The sent a ticking time bomb out into the public, I fear

Its hard to imagine a grandmother just hearing about her 7 year old grandaughter's death just an hour ago, answering questions on the news.

She must be in shock or something. I wouldn't be able to talk.

Maybe it is unreal to her and talking about it makes it real-I don't know.

Did anyone else find that so strange?

Its so sad and horrendous its just hard to grasp and I don't know any of them.

No, it wasn’t a surprise, that’s what shock can look like, delayed reaction.

I am heartbroken that so many people were killed. We have many people that need mental health treatment and take their anger out on the innocent souls. People that are mentally unstable will find many ways to kill people, as has been noted. Nothing is off limits with these unstable people trying to make a name for themselves. We can only pray with these families. Nothing will bring back their loved ones. So senseless to kill innocent souls.

 

The ages range from 5 to 72 years old. What is happening in our country???

If this person was mentally ill, why oh why was he able to put his hands on an AR-15?

Interesting that the Texas Department of Public Safety refused to name the shooter at the press conference.

@Plaid Pants2It might have something to do with them being a Govt agency?  They might be bound by codes of conduct that others aren't?
