Other neighbors also expressed outrage at the shooting to police, asking, “Who does a thing like that?”

“It would seem like an ice cream truck would be a safe haven,” Sullivan said.

There are no safe places. Stop thinking that way, and you will be a lot safer.

The answer to the neighbor's question is:

The same people who shoot clerks at convenience stores, carjack cars at red lights, and do drive by shootings of folks who looked at them in a way they don't like.

Banning guns, convenience stores, cars, or red lights will not make them any nicer or less dangerous. Most of them will stay that way until they die and are replaced by others with similar traits.

Baldeagle is exactly correct - there are no safe places.

There are places where really bad things happen with high frequency.

There are places where really bad things happen with low frequency.

There are no places where really bad things don't happen at all.

As a former LEO, I can tell you from personal experience that the most frequently heard exclamation from neighbors at a crime scene is:

"I never thought something like this could happen here."

Believe it.

It can.
