Got terrible news and am still in shock

On Sunday evening my cousin was shot in the head outside his house. He's currently in an induced coma in the hospital. Not much I can do, but I'm in a state of shock and just floating. The only emotion I really felt was yesterday when I left my apartment to buy food - I guess interacting with actual people in my state was too much and I was just so furious at everyone for no reason and wanted to hit everyone. Obviously I didn't, it was just a random impulse. Aside from that I can't really focus on anything, I'm on my own, and I'm not allowed to take time off. Not asking for advice, just want to get my thoughts and feelings out.
