Omaha Mall Shooting

This woman should sit in jail for the rest of her life for this crime.

"He was a very helpful young man, but he was quiet," said Debora Maruca-Kovac, a surgical nurse whose family took in Hawkins after her 17- and 19-year-old sons befriended him.

But Maruca-Kovac said she saw nothing foreshadowing the horror Hawkins would inflict during his last moments alive. She regarded him so benignly that when he showed her an SKS semiautomatic rifle the night before his attack, she thought little of it, the Omaha World-Herald reported.

Hmmm. Let's see. A long history of depression, getting dumped by your girlfriend two weeks ago, getting fired last week, and a new semiautomatic rifle. A recipe for trouble? Nah. Just a normal teen.
