Carthage is a tiny town of NC, don't know what motivated this truly senseless act but those that literally "snap" are totally unpredictable.

Here's the latest.  Just goes to show,based on the photo, that the rifle that is NOT black, and in the hands of a homicidal person,
can cause terrible tragedy.

CARTHAGE, N.C. - A lone gunman burst into a North Carolina nursing home Sunday morning and started "shooting everything," barging into the rooms of terrified patients, sparing some from his rampage without explanation while killing seven residents and a nurse caring for them.

Authorities said Robert Stewart also wounded three others, including the Carthage police officer who confronted him in a hallway of Pinelake Health and Rehab and stopped the brutal attack.

"He acted in nothing short of a heroic way today, and but for his actions, we certainly could have had a worse tragedy," said Moore County District Attorney Maureen Krueger. "We had an officer, a well-trained officer, who performed his job the way he was supposed to and prevented this from getting even worse than it is now."

Thank God for that officer.

Very sad,...
