Accolades to you, LuvsGurl, for doing the right thing. I can understand your having to get yourself together emotionally before you could even post what happened. It had to be an absolute shock to witness something horrible like a shooting. It's a distant memory now, but I remember when school students were armed with nothing more than pens, pencils, and rulers, with which to attack their academic subjects. You were really considered to be "bad" if you carried a miniature pocket knife!

You're right about the lack of info in the media. We're only two states away and didn't hear a thing on the news. Usually school shootings are well publicized. Sad to say, but I guess there wasn't enough students injured or killed to get the news reporter's and network's attention off other things going on.
