A small township about 40 minutes north of Detroit. And it's Christmastime. [qh]

There are hand-painted signs on the cute downtown storefronts. There are lights everywhere, decorations.[qh]

But what was really unusual about this tragedy is that the parents of the shooting suspect were charged, too.[qh]
