Two Adults and Two Children Shot Dead on a Florida Turnpike

Early this morning, Two adult and two child bodies were found on the side of Florida's Turnpike near Port St. Lucie. It is not yet known if the people were a family, but the woman had the two children in a protective position under her arms. Police say that this was "deffinately not a murder-suicide." The victims' names have not been released, however, the man was 29, the woman was 25 with a Florida ID, and the two children appeared to be 4 to 6 years old. No tire marks have been found, and authorities have no clue who could be behind these random murdurs.
I find this article very scary. It is uncomforting to know that you are no longer safe driving down the road. It is ironic that only 40 or so years ago, it was relatively safe to hitchhike nearly all of the way across the country, and now getting a ride one block home from school with some stranger is probably the worst thing someone could do. I can't believe what this world has come to, when I hear about all of these random highway shootings/murders. It sickens me that some people are unstable enough to even consider doing something like this. One thing that could have influenced the shootings was that the victivms appeared to be Hispanic, however, no matter anyones race, I cannot believe that someone would have this much hatred. Nearly all of the people that are involved with the case are very emotionally dumbfounded right now. Everyone that viewed the scene of the crime said that it was one of the most gruesome things they had ever seen. I am completely baffled by this story. It seems like something you would read in a horror story, and it definately is not something I thought a human being was capable of.
