UNC student body president found dead

First there's a bombing in Times Square, one of the most heavily-photographed places in the world; now, a shooting in downtown Chapel Hill, one of the friendliest places in the world. As a UNC grad, and as someone who lived in two different apartments within 10 blocks of the shooting, I can't even explain how disturbing this is. What have we come to, when, if a week goes by without some insane random killing, I start to expect to hear news of another one?
