A person put out a lengthy post after the news of the shooting broke, and wrote “Damn so 2 people just got killed at Publix on Panola Rd like 60 seconds away from my house, a young girl passed already and a man was in critical shape. It’s like every other day, I will never understand why people can’t just throw hands. Shooting someone/ someone loosing their life/ spending the rest of your life in prison is not worth it for some petty shit that will only affect your life for a couple of seconds. Someone cut you off it traffic? Cool let them, who cares move on. People need to start thinking about the bigger picture and not in the moment bs.”
