I work in the next community to the east. The drills we train for both in "locking down" classrooms and tactics to throw a shooter off guard are serious. The threat seems surreal. The reality hits too close to home.
Addendum:
In the subsequent week 7 schools had threats of shootings, students who were searched for guns and all in the state of Wisconsin, my home. Most are even no more than an hour away. How can something so life changing and hateful become so common in a school, a place that is to be a safe haven and an opportunity? How is it that guns are the answer?
it is horrible all these shootings it seems like it is several or more that we hear about a week and I wonder how many we don't and still the people in government do nothing about it.
ReplyDeleteSenseless - and we lived 6 miles from the Sutherland Shooting at the Church where 26 were killed. Very sorry to hear this!
ReplyDeleteSo sick of all of them. How are kids suppose to learn or enjoy their school experience when horrible things like this happened each and everyday. I'm so sick of it all. So maddening, so unnecessary, and so sad.
