Each time, the killers wielded firearms. Only 2009 was marked by as many such tragedies in the same period of time.Children at a Nashville grade school, gunned down on an ordinary Monday. Farmworkers in Northern California, sprayed with bullets over a workplace grudge. Dancers at a ballroom outside Los Angeles, massacred as they celebrated the Lunar New Year.In just the last week, four partygoers were slain and 32 injured in Dadeville, Alabama, when bullets rained down on a Sweet 16 celebration. And a man just released from prison fatally shot four people, including his parents, in Bowdoin, Maine, before opening fire on motorists traveling a busy interstate highway.“Nobody should be shocked,” said Fred Guttenberg, w...

Thorpe said at one point board members agreed to postpone a decision on whether to decommission the Antioch platform, but later in that same meeting they approved the closure.Reached later, Antioch Councilwoman Monica Wilson, who has been on the council for 12 years a...
