Feb 2013

outside of the local area they occurred. I have moved around a lot in my life (63 times before the age of 40) and every place I have ever lived has had this sort of thing. And with the exception of England, Germany and Japan every one of these incidents have involved a gun. I would also add in only one instance was the perpetrator female, and in only two was it a teenage male child not husband/boyfriend, ex-husband/ex-boyfriend and/or father.
