Is this the shit we would be seeing across the country if people aren't locked down? Have we really reached a point of "overkill news" that drives people over the edge?

An 11-year-old Idaho boy died following a spray of bullets randomly targeting his family’s mobile home by a stranger who allegedly yelled “this is the end of the world!” before he opened fire with a high-powered rifle.
“He was the sweetest, most polite little boy who always said ‘yes sir, no sir,” Jon Dufresne, who owns the mobile home park in Horsehoe Bend, told KTVB. “Soft-spoken. Gentle. This family was absolutely one of the nicest families I know of.”
Chief Deputy Steve Dorau confirmed the Sunday night shooting to PEOPLE.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved in this incident,” the department posted on its Facebook page.
According to Boise County prosecutor Adam Strong, the suspect observed the boy’s family at a gas station and then followed the family into the mobile home community around 10:25 p.m., where he shot multiple times at the family’s home with them inside, reports KTVB.
Strong said the attack appeared random.
“That’s almost the scariest kind, because we don’t have any kind of provocation or anything else that we know of at this time,” he told the outlet.
Officials did not identify the boy or his family.
