    • Thomas Daniel Hudson Strong work RPD... This good news is tempered, however, by the fact that a truly innocent life was lost in the crossfire. I wish that people would think about the consequences of settling an argument with a gun... The person you took from this earth was a real person with a real family, who was just trying to go home: http://www.facebook.com/billy.ennis3?v=wall
