Seriously...

When did killing someone for revenge become en vogue? We used to call them names, start dirty rumors about them around the school or make up stories about them having weed in their car -- but killing people someone on the way to the prom?

Just stupid.

Excerpt:

A couple bound for a prom were slain over the weekend, and that the young woman's ex-boyfriend is accused of the killings, police said.Jennifer Carrigan and Steven Daniel Furtado, both 18, were found dead Sunday by Carrigan's mother at a house in Chester. Deputies arrested 18-year-old Reyes Carrillo in the deaths of the two teens, said Plumas County Sheriff's Patrol Cmdr. Gerry Hendrick.

Two rural towns were reeling Monday after the discovery. Chester has a population of about 2,000, and there are about 6,000 people living in the Glenn County town of Willows. When told of his sister's death, 20-year-old Billy Carrigan headed home from Berkeley.But shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday, just before he reached Chester, Billy Carrigan crashed his Toyota Tacoma pickup truck into a stand of pine trees along Highway 36. A spokeswoman at Enloe Medical Center in Chico said he was in critical condition Monday. The Glenn County Sheriff's Department said Furtado had traveled from Willows, where he was a high school senior, to Chester to take Carrigan to her senior prom.
