Why Does God Allow Violence?

Another horrible occurance of workplace violence took place in Chicago -- and it got me wondering...are we really trying to help people understand why God allows suffering?

As those "who believe in God", shouldn't we at least try to help people understand why there is pain and suffering in this world, and that it's not because God is some sort of malevolent being that gets its kicks from huring people? Doesn't being the light of the world and the salt of the earth include challenges such as this one? Sure, there are times when we all just shake our heads, dumbfounded. But is that all we can do? Is that all we should do?
