I live in Norman Rockwell town USA. Rural PA. Beautiful main streets lined with gas lights, quiet, little crime, and violent crime is usually reserved for domestic disputes. Yesterday in our sleepy little town there was a homicide.

Being a small town the real story goes like this. Landlord/tenant have been disputing over unpaid rents for a while (several months). Landlord goes to tenants apartment, serves tenant eviction notice. Landlord walks away. Tenant fires three shots, one of which hits landlord in the head, killing him instantly.
I'm wondering how much more of this we have to look forward to. In the actual town I live in, this is the first homicide in no one can remember how long. Very sad and very scary.
