Death Penalty on Boston Marathon Bomber

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Marathon bomber, is possibly being sentenced to death for his crimes. Many people feel mixed emotions over this, especially the victims' families. This man set off 2 blasts and it killed 3 people, injured 260 people. 16 people ended up losing limbs. A grandmother of a young woman who was a victim believes prison isn't a fair enough punishment, but the death sentence is too much. Another man who lost his leg said Tsarnaev really does deserve the death sentence. Tsarnaev hasn't pleaded guilty, so there is no trial date set yet.

Grocery Store Shooting

A man went into an Indiana grocery store and started to shoot two people Wednesday night. The suspect was killed by police apparently. At around 10 pm, the Elkhart police station was called about the incident. The suspect was assumed to be in his 20's. The two victims, both women, one being in her late teens and an employee, and one in her 40's who was a shopper, were found 12 aisles apart, which they were killed by a semi-automatic hand gun. The suspect was aiming at another person when the police arrived and killed him.
"That's today's society, unfortunately." says Indiana police sgt. Trent Smith. Jessica Smith, a general manager at a restaurant next door called the "Fat Tomato" held a lockdown until everything was taken care of.
"I was essentially holding 20 plus people hostage in my building." she said as she was explaining how the police were telling her to keep her restaurant locked. Such a tragedy in a small town.
