Boy killed at random in Idaho mobile home shooting by man allegedly yelling 'it's the end of the world'

The man suspected in the shooting was yelling about the end of the world before opening fire in the small town mobile home park, witnesses told Boise television station KTVB.

The Boise County Sheriff's Office says 44-year-old Benjamin Michael Poirier of Emmett was arrested shortly after the shooting. He has been charged with first-degree murder and has not yet been appointed an attorney, according to court documents.Jon Dufresne, who owns the mobile home park in the small town of Horseshoe Bend about 30 miles north of Boise, said the man was firing his gun at random and pounding on doors.

"Just an outsider -- not from town, doesn't know anybody in the park, just chose this place. Left his car down the road, walked around with a gun shouting, 'It's the end of the world,' 'It's time to die,' things like that," Dufresne said. "Eventually one family answered the door, and opened the door, and he shot inside."

Boise County Chief Deputy Steve Dorau said one of the bullets struck a child inside, killing him. He was a fifth-grader at a local school, under the age of 12. The child's name was not released. "He was the sweetest, most polite little boy," Dufresne said. "His family was one of the nicest families I know of."

Once upon a time we kept all the crazy people together under one roof. One movie ( cuckoo's nest) was the catalyst to let them all out jacked up on meds. Pharma's dirty past. Then go learn about school shooters and ssri's.

I don’t normally feel the need to complain about the sensationalist stories you insist on sharing from the US news, but do you really think this is the time to be providing your Canadian audience with unneeded negativity?!? Of course I am devastated for everyone that knew him 😢
