Oakland police say a father of three was killed in bed near his sleeping wife and children when his house was sprayed with bullets in a drive-by shooting. Officer Kevin McDonald said one of many bullets passed through a wall and hit 46-year-old mechanic Thourn Nhep, who was pronounced dead at the scene when police arrived Saturday. Neighbors say a mid-size sedan sped away after the shooting. McDonald tells the Oakland Tribune (http://bit.ly/s7iXXn) the shooting was not random, but did not give further details of who was targeted and why. No one had been arrested. Nhep's 18-year-old daughter Sok told the Tribune it was the third time the house had been shot at recently. Sok said her father was a "good guy" who had nothing to do with violence.

Tsk,tsk. This made me quite upset. I mean, no one has to die this way. I hope justice is served and someone would watch over the family he left behind.

Hmmm, this one's a real mystery. The recurrence may also indicate that this isn't random. Although one would wonder about the motivation, as the family already mentioned that Mr. Nhep was a good guy.
