It was an accident. That was how my wife described a neighbor who was hit by a stray bullet when a sicario was trying to shoot someone else. I told her, only in Colombia does that qualify as an accident.

49 dead in New Zealand, which reportedly has never had a terrorist act in it's history. Last week, I said that like the Las Vegas hotel mass killer, it's typically some white guy who probably looks like someone who lives on your suburban, USA block. First Google hit on "New Zealand killer" says "calls himself an ordinary white man".
Not saying we need to, or ought to think we have a 'profile' in our minds, but that 'profile' might not be accurate. "Man is one of few species that eats itself"
