Shooting at Nursing Home

Putting someone in a nursing home can be a difficult enough decision. Anyone who has ever had to do it will tell you that it is one of the hardest things a person has to do for someone they love. You often wonder if your grandmother, grandfather, or other relative will be safe and well cared for. Now, with news that someone entering a North Carolina nursing home today and killing six people, the issue of safety has taken on an entirely new meaning.

This is a developing story, but one that will have many people watching with interest. It brings up the question of security in nursing homes, which is often nonexistent. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and residents of the Pinelake Health and Rehabilitation Center as police try to make sense of what happened there today.
