MURDER IN VEGAS

MASS shootings in the United States have become so depressingly familiar as to be almost routine. But the massacre in Las Vegas yesterday still shocked to the core. That something so terrible can happen in a city dedicated to fun, a place with which many Gold Coasters are familiar, was truly devastating. One can only hope and pray – hope that the outrage will finally prompt some change in America’s gun laws, and pray for those who have become their latest victims.
