So the daughter of one of Dad's co-workers was murdered today.

As far as anyone knows, there was no reason for it; could've happened to anyone. She was just walking down the street when someone drove past and shot her in the chest. We got the call during dinner.

I have no idea if I've even met her (maybe as a kid or something, we're about the same age), and her father is more Dad's friend than anyone else's, so I... don't know. I'm shaking a little, but I still feel oddly detached from the whole thing. Empty. I don't know how to describe it or what to say.

Dad's thinking about visiting the family. I'm kind of thinking about going as well, but I have no idea what I'd even do.

Edit: I'm okay for the record skjfghd don't worry or feel like you have to cheer me up or anything. It just came as a shock.

*hug* I'm so sorry about that; it's just horrible when something like that happens.

I remember about four years or so ago, a little girl who lives down our street got hit by a car and died. She was only about three. I'd never even met her, and I only knew her family a little bit, but I was really upset... just because things like that shouldn't happen.
