Yes, the "Why" was there but it was directed at how could the system let a convicted impaired driver get his license back. Murder is different because of the "violence" and "intent".
As horrible as it was, the impaired driver did not "intent" to kill your wife's friend or use his vehicle in "violent" matter.
Lots of people are killed at jobs sites everyday, why is it such a big deal when a police officer shot. The reason is that the life was loss in an act of intentional violence.
These students and teachers were killed in an act of intentional violence with a firearm.
To stay with your analogy, if a drunk driver went through a school crosswalk and killed the crossing guard and 16 students, it would be a horrible tragedy. But it is a complete different situation than what occurred in Florida and is occurring on a regular basis in the US.
