We used to live in Townville, less than a 1/4 mile from the elementary school. My wife's nephew was in that school today. You could not find a more close knit, caring community but you never know how close you come to absolute insanity everyday.
If you have kids - hug them and tell them you love them. If you have family you love - call them and let them know.
Prayers, it takes a sick individual to do something like that.
The national news may not have portrayed the heroism of the local volunteer firefighters well enough. Jamie Brock and Billy McAdams were first to respond to the call. Billy covered the injured children and Jamie took down the armed gunman and kept him from killing other innocent children. Neither of these men were armed - but reacted as true heroes do. A third volunteer performed CPR on one of the injured and kept him alive until relieved by the medi-vac doctors arrived.
God Bless the heroes that volunteer!
I own firearms, several, no quite a few and have enough ammo on hand to get by. They are all locked in safes or locked boxes. While all the facts are still not known in this case I have a friend whose 10 year old son accidentally shot him self, thank God not fatally last spring. If you have firearms in your home and especially if you have children, lock them up. I like Gander Mountains slogan, With rights come responsibilities.
Just a follow up. The one little boy passed today! He was shot in the leg and it hit the femoral artery and almost bled out before getting to the hospital.It was just to much trauma on his system.
Please keep his family in your prayers!
So sad......
