We are being confronted on all sides by people with concealed weapons, without knowing when such lunatic people will strike at some of us, their daily victims.

The motive unknown, the killer on the run, the victim an Ethiopian, the ex-wife left with his children, all eyes are on the police to catch the criminal. When such tragedy hits some of us Ethiopians unexpectedly, we all long to go home so that we could share our sorrows with our extended family and get comforted quickly. Yes, comfort comes wherever we are, but it takes time, and may the Almighty God (haialu egziabhere) give eternal rest to Mr. Berhanu Taye’s soul and lasting solace to his ex-wife, Wizero Beletu Desta and to those lovely children of theirs!

I can't wait to see the idiot who shot a guy infront of a camera. You have to love how idiotic some people are in the DC area.
