didn't see anything about this here, if anyone wishes to donate to his memorial fund, as I have.

if only there were some armed law abiding citizens there to support him.

Those pictures are like taps at a funeral. Stomach churningly sad. :(

Here are some more pictures from the free press http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/...ory=NEWS&ArtNo=7290804&Ref=PH&Params=Itemnr=1

My dad told me he drove through there on the way to a family reunion, and that a bunch of people who worked for the city were collecting donations at an intersection for his family, and that many were distraught enough that they weren't paying enough attention to traffic. I'm not saddened by much, but this really disgusts me.

Perhaps the only good that could come of this is if the exact details of what happened are made public, because there is often much that a shooting where the bad guy wins can teach us about how learn from the mistakes of the victim to better the odds of living if we are attacked.
