How is it that we can be both shocked and not the least bit surprised that a person with a rifle, a pistol and a shotgun, all legally purchased, opened fire on a church school in Minneapolis the morning of Aug. 27?
Two children, one 8 years old and one 10 years old, died while they and their classmates prayed in a Catholic school mass. Children. Eight years old. Ten years old. Fifteen of their fellow students and two adults were also wounded by gunfire.
