first thing this morning

This morning I was awaken by the sounds of what I thought was the city construction starting way to early .. I found out quickly that it was actually the sound of a life ending. A woman "allegedly" shot and killed a man after an argument on 10th st. just outside our building. Apparently their fight started in our lobby and continued on to the street where she shot him as he was walking away from her.. One woman who was walking her dog said she saw it all happen and she just froze-- didn't know what to do. No one went to check on the guy because she (the shooter) was still standing over him waving her gun around...she actually had two guns on her ... When the police showed up they tackled her to the floor. It seems so surreal...like a movie
I can't help but think that this person probably didn't realize that today was the day he would die. Death just like life is such a surprise.

This is the 106th homicide this year in Kansas City --compared to 77 last year at this time..

Last night I watched the movie Monster with Charlize Theron. It was about a woman serial killer. It was an intersting and scary look into the mind of a killer. She didn't start off killing or wanting to... This brings me to the story at hand.. Did this woman know she was going to do this? How did it come to this? What happened to lead up to this event? What is going through her mind right now?h

We'll never know all of it.
