Unfortunately it happens all to often down here. I don't know whats worse, the frequency of that sort of thing around here, or how easily you get use to it with repetition.
The thing that gets me most is the young age. We have fourteen and fifteen year olds shooting other kids of the same age for the most senseless and stupid reasons. They have no idea of the consequences of their actions, nor the amount of damage that round can cause once they let it go. So many times they miss the intended target and hit somebody a half block away just walking home from the store and think absolutely nothing of it. It's sicking really, but unfortunately a daily reality in some places.
