PELHAM, Alabama (CNN) -- Three people were shot dead Thursday and a suspect was taken into custody, following shootings at two locations in Pelham, Alabama, about 15 miles south of Birmingham.
Few details were available, but authorities said a 34-year-old suspect from Billingsley, Alabama, was apprehended by police along Interstate 65. The suspect's name was not released, but authorities said they intended to bring a charge of capital murder against him.

I came home for a nice lunch and found this plastered across CNN. My GF(mental health professional) was yelling at the newscaster "It's not the guns, It's the shortage of Prozac!" While it's too early to tell, I have a feeling that this is the start of a new ghoulish fad. Seems like a weekly dose of shoot 'em up. I wish the law-abiding gunowners could do something as a group to help combat this negative press we are all suffering from. Does anybody have any ideas to head off the inevitable "knee-jerk" responses we can expect?
