Shootings and killings happen too often

It was not even a year ago that a University of Utah football player was killed when leaving a house party after a football game. His friend who was also a University of Utah football player had died of what appeared to be an accidental shooting not long before that. Both of these young men were from Texas.

Now another university football player has been shot and killed. The young man was apparently trying to stop some fighting at a party.
