The dummy might have had this planned already. He missed court the other day for speeding. FTA on 8/27/2013.

You know, I can remember a time when people fist fought their exes new boyfriend/girlfriend because they couldn't control their jealousy. Then it came a time when people evolved and said,"I'm not fighting over a female" and for girls it was the same. But this new generation of kids are ruthless. This is the second time I've heard of someone being killed over the opposite sex in Salisbury. I think people of my time and before my time were just cut from a different cloth (of a stronger material).

This is just heartbreaking. These are just children. I may get some grief for expressing this but I wonder if some type of legal drugs were in the equation?
Anymore children are not allowed to be themselves and when they don't conform to what the public schools see as "normal" they are "diagnosed" and prescribed drugs.
The most often common denominator with these types of incidents involving this age group has been some form of mind altering drug, legally prescribed.

Too many guns.

1:57, common sense dictates it's not a gun which is an innate object. You can sit there all day long and tell the gun to go out and shoot someone without any results.
It's the person who fires the gun.
Guns are the excuses the politicians give you to make you feel good that they are actually doing something about violence.

Stop being so gullible and falling for their BS. Guns have been around since the inception of this country (and were more widely and readily available up until a few decades ago) and all these killings are a relatively new phenomena which again common sense would dictate it's not the guns.
You all on the anti gun bandwagon need to start engaging you brains instead of listening to politicians telling you things to make you feel good.

The suspect was an absolute twisted coward. There is no reason at the age of 21 to be so indulged into a relationship that you would take anyone's life over it.

Ryan Shallue was a selfish, arrogant, no good piece of crap that obviously couldn't handle the normalcy of a young adult life. Should have just taken his own life and left the others out of it.


Rest Easy CJ you were a great person, friend, son, brother, and uncle. It sucks this community has lost such a great person.

No one needs to possess a semi-automatic gun

Candle light vigil @ SU tonight @ 7pm.

Candle Light Vigil? SU and the surrounding housing need all the light that they can get. With all of the Leyland Cypress trees obstructing the view around the SU stadium - the area is poised for robberies and abductions.

Quite simply - it is unsafe and ought not to be allowed.

4:57, why shouldn't anyone own a semi-automatic gun? Do you even know what one is? It's not an assault rifle or automatic (machine) gun. The shooter must pull the trigger every time he wishes to fire the weapon. The pistol did not kill the victim or injure the young girl. The deranged coward holding the pistol did it!

The problem isn't guns. Those who have attempted to make this a solution have done nothing but added to the problem because they aren't getting to the root of the problem. It's nothing but wasting time and amounts to a feel good tactic with a lack of any results.
Everyone likes to use Chicago with it's very strict gun laws as an example. Baltimore as well, which just recently experienced an explosion of violence.
Society in general has become a "do whatever they want" mentality with no thoughts or regards to the consequences. This tragedy was the extreme. People have to stop doing whatever they perceive will make they feel good at the time and think forward to the consequences of their actions.
