Didn't know that.

at 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. and those people were murdered.

(30,376 posts)7. My mother is dead, my father is dead. Neither of them
was gunned down in the street by a killer. They departed at the end of their lives, not when they were toddlers. I am real tired of all this gun violence. Sorry I took it out on your word choice.
