[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have theories on what happened? And why did the media go radio silent on this? There were a couple of stories when it happened and then nothing. And police are not sharing details. This is sad and frightening. How can they say there’s no immediate threat to public but not share what happened?

How was this a tragedy? It sucks the guy died, but I don’t see a “tragedy” here. A bit of a mystery, maybe. [/quote]

you don’t think it is a tragedy that a young boy is left without his father?  you win for most clever post.[/quote]

NP Jesus ! Just come out and say you're mainly concerned because it happened where you don't think/expect it to happen .[/quote]

Well, of course that is one part of the tragedy. This happened in an area where murders rarely occur. It happened to someone who appeared to be a very good guy, and it has left a child without his father. And, in an area where murders that happen to unlikely candidates (wasn't a drug dealer, no nefarious behavior), it isn't really being discussed either online or on the news. Barely a mention.

And for the poster who said that this doesn't meet their "tragedy" standard, I must respectfully disagree with you.[/quote]

To be fair, (and unfortunately in the world we live in today) when I saw the heading "recent Ballston Tragedy" my first thought was mass shooting or some kind of multiple shooting event.  I didn't think of a single homicide, even though that is a tragedy. [/quote]
