"The best we can do"

"The best we can [do is] to pray for the father and husband so he can work through this."

That’s what the sheriff said about a woman who shot and killed her daughters during a family argument.

She was apparently nice and cheerful and all the neighbors are shocked. However, deputies had been dispatched to the house on several occasions before this. But the gun stayed.

And now three women are dead and a man is hospitalized  (though not shot).

But prayers are the best the sheriff has.
