Although I feel the story of the shooting in the Wal-Mart parking lot has been adequately covered in the media and over covered in some blogs, I did recieve e-mails from readers wondering where was my post on this since this story has an Argenta connection.  I am reluctant to post on this for personal reasons, you will soon learn about. The alledged shooter in the Wal-Mart purse snatching gone bad is a resident of Argenta as reported on kTHV.  The shooter and his family live in the Argenta Square Apartments on Maple Street.

This story is so sad for all those involved, including the victim's family and alledged shooter's family.  Reportedly the shooter may have had some medical issues as well.  This story hits very close to home for me, as I am presently dealing with a close family member who is a young man undergoing medical treatment.   I could go on for days about the failure of our society to deal with these kinds of problems in a proactive mannner.  But this is not the appropriate place or time.

I suggest we all keep both families in our hearts and prayers.  Cornerstone Bible Fellowship Church in Sherwood has set up a fund for the shooting victim's family (the Wordens).  You can make a donation at any Metropolitan National Bank in central Arkansas.
