Mother opens fire; leaves 6-year-old son dead
Lee County sheriff?s investigators said Leslie Ann Wallace, 39, of 1461 Maranatha Drive, North Fort Myers, shot and killed her 6-year-old son, James, point blank Sunday morning at their home before driving to a nearby church and shooting her 16-year-old son, Kenny.
The only thing that saved his life was a covered Bible that Kenny Wallace held in his arms when his mother pulled the trigger, authorities said.
So are we going to have a repeat of the Texas situation, where the woman blames it on post-partum depression and Katie Couric sets up a defense fund for her? Or was it because the mother had been playing Doom?
The thing about the Bible blows me away, too . . .
