The county was still reeling from the gun violence that rang out at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital when it happened again.
This time police say a domestic incident in Ridley spun out of control.
A man opened fire outside an apartment, killing his 5-year-old son and critically injuring his estranged girlfriend.
The man then fled the scene and led police on chase. He eventually turned the gun on himself, taking his own life.
We used our editorial page today to talk about gun violence, and how to keep guns out of the hands of people who clearly should not possess them.
But that would not have stopped the tragedy that unfolded in Ridley late Saturday night.
Police say Tyrell Styles legally owned the Ruger 9 mm he used to snuff out the life of his son.
So what is the answer? I don't know. All I know is that we have a problem in this country with guns. And it's time we did something about it, preferably before the next incident occurs.

The best solution is in our schools gun safety and why we have gun rights should be taught like driving safety and drug safety is taught today. If we really want to protect our children then we should educate them on the dangers they are exposed to in our country.
