Monday morning at a Naval Office 13 people were killed including the gun man. The gun man Aaron Alexis, age 34 killed himself and 12 others. A police officer is in surgery after being shot because him and the gun man were exchanging fire. Three weapons were found on the gun man; an AR-15 assault riffle, a shot gun and a semiautomatic pistol. They are looking for other suspects, because they identified a white male as well carrying a long gun. They are still looking for the other gun man.
I personally think that this is so terrible, how does someone kill another person? I can barely kill a bug, much less another human being. At least there went 3 gun men, there would have been so much more damage. But still this is a terrible thing.. I hope that they find the other shooter, he deserves to be locked away for good.

People kill, for two major reasons. Power and revenge. Thats all there is worth killing for, right? Why do we go through war? For Power. Why does a shopkeep in South Carolina get shot by a good for nothing guy with a part time job waiting tables, only relying on the terrible tips he gets from his terrible job to live? For revenge, thats why. Yes, revenge on the terrible reality life had stuck him with. Or at least, what he thinks life stuck him with. Anyway, people die, people kill. There's nothing we can do but mourn.
