A young couple Derrick Thompson, 19, and Alivia Welch, 18, were shot and killed in their own apartment by their landlord after an argument. Apparently the argument was over a parking space! The 74-year-old killer then barricaded himself in his home and didn’t come out for 3 hours. This shooting occurred shortly after police had been called to the home because of the argument and left. According to reports the man was known to have a short temper, but how short of a fuse do you have to have to commit something like this? Something else must have contributed to this unfortunate tragedy, maybe a mental problem of some sort. This gun control controversy is alive and well right leading into a new year.
