I am having a hard time with the news of the Christmas eve shooting?

of the 6 family members here in Washington state. I live just 2 towns away from where this occured. My son is the same age as the little boy that was killed (Age 3). The daughter of the two oldest victims had her boyfriend shoot the boy and his 5 year-old sister because she "Wasn't up to it." I cried all the way home from work after reading how he shot the little boy in the head while he held his hand out to him after watching him kill his mom and sister. I got home from work and went into my son's room and watched him sleep. What in the hell can make someone so cold as to shoot children like that? The Prosocuter is deciding whether to go for the death penalty or not. These people deserve to rot in hell. What is this world coming to? After learning that he might get the death penalty the man was quoted as saying "I have a new respect for life." Too little too late for that. Should have thought of that before pulling the trigger.
