A few years ago UCA had some nonstudents come on campus and shoot and kill 2 students. Campus cops were there in under 1 minute but it was too late for the victims. Many schools sent condolences to the school and after talking with the football team, I learned that even though the students killed weren't players, it still had a bad effect on the team. Condolences to the whole team at SC State. You guys are in our prayers. Family too.

That actually surprises me. Conway seemed really nice, honestly a lot nicer than I expected. I don't remember seeing any thug types around. One local told me about a recent string of robberies. They apparently went to that place where you pour your own beer from the taps (cant remember name). I thought that was pretty brazen.

Condolences to the victim's family.

This type of thing not only affects the the victim and his family, but also perp's family, friends from both sides, etc. A lot of heart break, probably over nothing.
