Murder over Poker Game

I know, I know, I know... I have already written a couple of articles about people killing other people over poker games. But, I can't help it. Just this morning I read an article about some people who were engaged in a friendly game of poker. Apparently, when the game ended somebody was less than satisfied with the outcome of the game. So, he went out and when he came back he shot five of his opponents. Three of them were mortally wounded and the other two died on the spot.


According to police, the shooting may have also been drug related with the game loss fueling the suspected killer's fury. Detectives assigned to the case are now investigating the incident. The suspect escaped the crime scene and police currently have no information regarding his whereabouts. Although they are hopeful that the attacker would be found very soon, at this point, nobody can guarantee that. Personally, I feel bad for the victims. Although they may have been dirt bags (drug dealers), it's still human life, you know.


The entire incident just proves how little appreciation people have for live. I'm sorry that the game of poker, something that is supposed to bring fun and entertainment to people's lives, sometimes involves death and murder.
