I moved to Omaha 6 months ago.  This is an awesome city.  It is the heartland of america.

On Wednesday, December 5th, a messed up 19 year old kid decided to leave a nasty piece of grafitti on this great city.  He entered a local mall packed with Christmas shoppers and fatally shot 8 individuals and wounding another 5 before turning the gun on himself.

A talk show host stated this kind of thing simply doesn't happen in Omaha.  Unfortuately, it did.

To all the families affected by this tragedy you have my deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers.
