This happened on Halloween night and I still haven't been able to stop thinking about it:

"An ex-convict who said he thought he was being robbed gunned down a 12-year-old trick-or-treater, spraying nearly 30 rounds with an assault rifle from inside his home after hearing a knock on the door, police said Saturday...
The family attended a Halloween celebration in downtown Sumter, 45 miles east of Columbia, then stopped at Patrick's house because the porch light was on, police said. Another sibling was with them but wasn't hurt." The mother and baby were waiting in the car.
It's so upsetting. I can imagine being in the spirit of Halloween and stopping at a house--"Look, the lights on...let's go get some more candy..."
