Since we insist on arming people with hair trigger tempers, maybe local officials could start up public service announcements explaining you do not have the right to shoot and kill people because they upset you. Via NBC News:

Lynn Shearer, owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer Co., told NBC affiliate KXAN, which is based in Austin, that the two people shot were cheerleaders who were on their way home from practice.

Shearer said the cheerleaders typically carpooled from the Austin area to her gym. On Monday night, she said at least four cheerleaders were on their way back to the Austin area and had to stop at an H-E-B, where some of the members had parked their cars.

One of the girls accidentally tried to get into the wrong car, Shearer said. That's when, she said, a "guy got out and they saw that he had a gun. And so they tried to speed off and he shot his gun, like five times or so into the car." Woodlands Elite Cheer Co. did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment from NBC News. The Elgin Police Department also did not immediately respond to an overnight request from NBC News seeking to confirm these details.

Payton Washington is now in the ICU. What kind of grownass man shoots at a group of teenage girls?

Shearer identified the cheerleader who was critically injured in the shooting as Round Rock Independent School District cheerleader Payton Washington.

“She’s won every title there is to win in all-star cheerleading. She’s literally a role model for the kids in this industry throughout the country,” Shearer said. “Everybody knows her. She’s literally one of the very best that’s ever done this sport.”
