I always thought we in the US have things like that happen. Guns are easy to buy here though there are some states which require permits and a waiting period to purchace guns. Violence is everywhere I guess. Prayers for the police officers family.

It's so sad that the world have such little respect for law enforcement anymore or anyone else for that matter. I pray they catch whomever is responsible and they get their due reward of JUSTICE!!! Whatsoever a man sow that shall he also reap. My prayers for the family/friends!

It is so sad that the world has such little respect for human life at all. I live in Ohio about an hour and a half away from Chardon were the student opened fire and killed three students earlier this week. I also work in a school system and I am still just sick over this.

I wonder ... is it that we are from a different generation ? Why is there so much violence today...I know we can ask why for a lot of things that go on today, but I feel so sad each day that I read of all this violence in today's world...who has the answer WHY ??
