The US Capitol dome is shown in the background as flags fly at half staff in honor of the victims of the shooting in Arizona that injured US Representative Gabrielle Giffords, at the Washington Monument in Washington January 9, 2011. 

I wonder just what set this young man off?  It's a terrible thing to loose a life, and certainly he has lost his as well.  I can't imagine why this young man could hate someone so bad that he could do this horrible thing?  My heart goes out to his parents as they struggle to deal with this tragic ordeal.  I pray for peace in their hearts as well as the hearts of the families and friends of the victims.
