Say What???

From the Minot Daily News, where there is a story about a grandmother and 3 children were murdered by a 21 year old on an Indian Reservation.
NEW TOWN - Area residents gathered here Monday evening to mourn the shooting deaths of four of its residents while law enforcement officials continue to piece together details of the crime.
Martha Johnson, 64, and three of her grandchildren, Ben Schuster, 13, Julia Schuster, 10, and Luke Schuster, 6, were shot to death at Johnson's home in New Town Sunday, according to Mountrail Sheriff Ken Halvorson.
Police responded to a 9-1-1 call to the dispatch center in Stanley soon after 3 p.m. from a juvenile male, who was the lone survivor in the house. The 12-year-old boy, also a grandchild of Johnson's, stated that the perpetrator was "a dark-complected adult male," according to the release. A New Town man, whose name has not been released, committed suicide hours later while being questioned by investigators in the nearby reservation town of Parshall....http://www.minotdailynews.com/page/content.detail/id/570966/New-Town-mourns-victims.html?nav=5010
But then there's this: "I made the call about 9 o'clock last night, and it was the right call," said Marc Bluestone, superintendent of New Town District Schools, of his decision to close the school for the day Monday. "We did not have a definitive answer for the threat level in the community."...
"In places like Los Angeles or New York this wouldn't seem" too out of the ordinary, Bluestone said. "For our little town here it's pretty scary."
Trust me, if these murders happened anywhere, even in New York or Los Angeles, these murders would be out of the ordinary.  I don't care what city you like in, if you lose 3 young kids and their grandma to a murder, it would be a huge deal and shocking.  Just look at the case in New York City where a nanny killed 2 young kids- it was shocking and making news all over the world.
Sadly, this murder happened on a small Indian reservation, so not too many people know about the murders.
But, no matter where you live, the murder of 4 people is not ordinary and it is sad to the entire community.
