depressing

A 28-year-old mom of three was shot in front of her children by an 18-year-old carjacker, who ran away when the mother's car wouldn't start, but who was later caught. The children ranged in age from three to eight, and the mother, named Porsha Owens, apparently turned to her eldest after being shot and said, "I'm sorry. I think I'm about to die."

Crap like this happens all the damn time, so I don't know why this particular incident is hitting me so hard. It's the end of the work day; I'll be leaving the office soon and taking a long walk, during which I'll be keeping the Owens family in my thoughts.

And why on Earth is this article in Yahoo! News's "Entertainment" section? Pretty morbid.
