In Phoenix Arizona the parents of Jared Loughner, the 22-year-old suspect in the mass shooting in Arizona, expressed sorrow on Tuesday. "There are no words that can possibly express how we feel. We wish there were, so we could make you feel better," according to the statement to accused Jared Lee Loughner's family. "We don't understand why this happened. It may not make any difference, but we wish that we could change the events that happened on Saturday," the family statement said. "We care very deeply about the victims and their families. We are so very sorry for their loss." Earlier in the day, a neighbor had described Loughner's parents as "devastated" and "hurting." Wayne Smith, who has been bringing Amy and Randy Loughner their mail, said the couple "couldn't say much, they were crying too much. They can't talk without breaking down ... they're hurting."
I kinda feel sad for these parents of this young man. As fun as it will be for folks to decide that this could never happen in their family, one can truly never know what is in someone's heart or mind until they commit an act so evil as to be unexplainable. I hope they are able to somehow get away from Arizona for awhile, and allow themselves to heal. As it seems likely that their son had a psychiatric disorder that they as his parents would have been powerless to do anything about as there son is an adult, there will always be those monday morning quarterbacks who will blame them. I hope that people continue to pray for this kid and his parents.
