Random shooting hits RI.

This story is still developing.

It appears that they have apprehended a "Person of Interest" in this act of violence.  We know that area of Providence well; frequently have a dinner there and stroll the shops along Thayer Street.  I am not going to make and knee jerk reactions or speculations; information is still coming in and motive has yet to be determined.  My heart does go out to those students who witnessed the ordeal and to watch their classmates being shot in front of their eyes.  Having a niece in Graduate school (in NYC), and knowing the absurd level of stress she is under to get through her finals, I can only imaging what these students are dealing with.    

Onward.

In peace.
