Woman MURDERED just 7 miles from my house!

Well it is scary knowing that people now days are not safe. Where I live there has been a few murders. A friend of mine was murder last year just a couple days before thanksgiving. He was shot many times in the head and a couple times in the neck. Just about 3 blocks from where I live this guy killed his girlfriend at their apartment with one of those tire tools. What is scary is that at that apartment is another good 75 apartments which is all in one area. Not to long ago this guy guy killed his wife and then killed himself with their children watching from inside their house. It scary knowing that people will do this. I just don't understand why people would take another persons life for no reason. Maybe one of these years there will be no crime. I wish just once we all can live and feel safe. Happy Mylotting

It's really sad to hear of such stories. It can be even worse when it is close to home. There was one case, where a three-year-old girl was killed by a car, driven by two teenage boys. This happened really close to where my nieces live. The little girl was a year older than my eldest niece, or at least, would have been. You can bet that my first thought when I heard this was my eldest niece. I couldn't help but think that it could have been my niece. I think that when it's close to home, it's becomes that much scarier.

Malta is a small island, so the villages are near each other. a couple of days ago a man shot his neighbour when he heard foostpes on the roof. I suspect that there were someting going on with his mrs.

Being a foster parent seems scarier now than ever. I know sometimes we hear stories about bad foster parents, but really the people who take these kids in are mostly great people. I just hate that someone who was trying to help, was murdered. That seventeen year old is going to be sorry for it if he isn't already. Bubba won't make a good cellmate.

I feel bad for youths today. They very little positive influence in their lives. I think that some just go over the edge anyway,but, it is sad to see all the broken homes and poverty stricken households now days. I think if there were two parents in a family unit the kids would have a better chance. I am sorry this happened and glad the kid was found and prosecuted.

(Warning: this comment might be considered graphic to some people). Yea. Actually a guy that lives three floors above me in my building murdered his girlfriend and then tried to hang himself on the fire escape of my building but his body fell. I actually saw his body fall but didn't realize that's what I saw that night. I was laying down trying to fall asleep but I couldn't fall asleep and there's a light outside that came into my room so when he jumped I saw a shadow fall past my window. It was weird though because I didn't think to look out. I remember laying there wondering what it was. I was thinking maybe it was a tree branch or something blowing in the wind but then I thought it didn't look like one and the branches from the tree that was there were broken off. Then I thought maybe someone's kid threw a toy or something out of the window but there was no one up there that had kids that I knew of plus it was 12 something at night I think. If I wasn't almost about to fall asleep then maybe I would have gotten up to check. I'm glad that I didn't check though because the image would have been with me forever. I remember right after seeing the shadow pass my window I heard something drag upstairs so I guess the people upstairs heard something when he fell, maybe hitting the fire escape, but I didn't hear anything because I had the window closed and the AC on. The next morning my mom woke me up and I looked out the window and saw his body right under my window. The police and people from my building were out there. He was laying there with a pool of his own blood around his head and I remember his white sneakers had blood under them. They found his girlfriend upstairs in their apartment with her neck slit and blood was all over the apartment. The lady had two kids but they were at the babysitter's apartment on the other side of the building.

It is scary isn't it? We are from a small town population of 3,308 as of last year. I know of a few murders that are to close for my comfort zone. One a boyfriend killed his girlfriend and that was about 1 mile from my house. Another the husband shot his wife in the backyard and then himself, about 1 mile. The last one was our neighbors son who lived about 3 miles from us, some guy shot him over and over. His best friend found him when he came home from work. Like I said scary. I don't understand people that kill like this.

That was terrifying. Here in the place where I live (home), I haven't heard of any murder. I usually get's terrified with such kind of news, people get massacred or murder without mercy. Our country has a high crime rate, so I agree that there is no safe place anymore. All we need to do is to pray and be watchful.

You never know what kind of people are around your area, even if you live in a rural area where there is supposedly less crime. Sometime last year a couple got killed about 30 miles from where I live, they lived in a rural area, not far from my mom, she lives alone, and I sure worried about her, because they never found out who did it, even today they still have no leads or ideas or why. Not too long ago, another couple was killed not far from my area, and they've never found out who did that either. Its scarey to think there are killers out there, and nobody knows who they are.

this just means nobody is safe wherever we are. these kinds of stories really scare me. that's why i always pray at night that ill still be waking up the next morning. also, i added some locks at my entrance door, and at my bedroom door. atleast if somebdy tried to forcefully open the doors i would have time to call for help..

I am happy to say that I have never experienced something like this so close to home before. We always hear about things like this happening on the news, in magazines etc but I think it must hit much harder when it happens so close to home as you would probably tend to feel a little more 'involved'. I guess is just also goes to show how common things like this are becoming these days sadly
