Title: Shooting in Albion
Post by: KA1ZGC on August 06, 2008, 12:28:05 PM
I'm not ready to discuss what happened, but I was on the air with a few of you when this all started. I've heard a few of you voice concern, which I appreciate. My family and I are all safe, but many of us who witnessed this will probably never be the same.

There's one word that best sums up how we all feel about this: sorrow.

That's really all I have to say.

That is certainly a very sad story. Things like that can happen anywhere, with little warning, and for reasons that don't make any sense at all. It's very disconcerting when it happens close to you. I still haven't quite gotten over the murder of one of my past students last summer. He was knifed in the woods about 500 yards from my backyard. Just a bunch of kids sitting around a fire sipping beers and it all went crazy.

That is very disturbing. The account seems to say that the family of the deceased was good and orderly, but yet the deceased was at the time in such a state as to aim a shotgun at a policeman and another armed citizen. May God care for everyone involved and for the soul of the deceased.

"... investigators are looking at the possibility that a locally high level of transient RF energy may have affected the deceased, causing his bizzare behavior..."





Sorry Thom... couldn't resist the comic potential...

As usual, "potential" is as far as you got with that one, Bear.

Did the cause for this awful tragedy come out? or is it best not to pry?

After the State Police and Attorney General's office has finished their investigations, I will give you guys my account of what happened.
