As a former long time resident of Thousand Oaks (my oldest daughter was born there) as well as the surrounding areas (Moorpark, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Newbury Park), I can say that this is shocking. To the point of being bizarre. I believe the murder rate last year for Thousand Oaks was zero per 100,000. It's one of the safest places in the country to live, ranked in the top ten. It's just not the sort of thing that happens there... until it does.
Needless to say, it's not only the families of the victims whose world is shattered, the entire community has been rocked.
