Only in the U.S.?

Friday, in Dendermonde, Belgium, a man walked into a day-care center and started stabbing and slashing with an eight-inch knife.

A 9-month old girl, a 6-month old boy and a 54-year-old caregiver were killed. Ten other children were wounded.

An Associated Press story quoted a resident of the small city as saying, "We thought that things like this only happened in the United States..."

Painful, but true.

Saturday, in Wichita, Kansas, USA, a wake was held for an elderly woman. With a large number of people in the house, others arrived and started shooting, according to an article in the Wichita Eagle. Two people died and seven hospitalized -- one in critical condition and four serious.

No answers from this corner, just more questions.
