- Go to Boy Rescued, Thank God
My wife and I are also glad to hear that the boy was rescued relatively unscathed. Three things however . . . First, so far the police have not said exactly how the gunman died, and I'm not sure why. Second, there's a reasonable chance that, had they stormed that bunker immediately instead of negotiating for a spell, and thus allowing him to calm down a bit, he may have reacted a lot more violently towards the boy. And third, background checks and stricter gun laws might keep guns from being sold to the mentally unbalanced, but it won't ( and can't ) stop the guns from being stolen from people who bought them legitimately. I know the solution, but no one wants to hear it . . .

I like the way law enforcement handled this situation! When I read they thought the guy had a TV they did not give out any information to fuel his fire so to speak! I was relieved that the boy was okay for the most part, too! This country needs to address mental health issues and soon! sam
