-sigh-

From the Toronto Star (http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/558529):
COVINA, Calif.– A man who killed nine people in a Christmas Eve massacre dressed as Santa apparently intended to flee to Canada, but his plans were dashed when the inferno he created melted his red costume onto his body, police said yesterday.
...
Pardo, 45, fired a shot into the face of an 8-year-old girl who answered the door...

Police said Pardo had no criminal record or history of violence, and
neighbours and others knew him as a friendly man who was a volunteer usher at his parish church.
...
The 8-year-old girl was released from hospital yesterday, officials said.

Why did I suspect this guy was a church-goer as I scanned the article? No Virginia, being religious doesn't automatically mean you are moral.
