Another senseless act against the innocent. It hurts to see yet another violent act. My heart goes out to the parents and those students and teachers who will never be the same because of this event.

Good Afternoon

I'm very sad about this, and school just started for the new year.

Guns in Canada are locked away in the shops, and you can't buy a gun without proof of age and a gun licence. Same in Australia, though Melbourne had its first gun.

Of course guns are banned here unless licensed for sport etc. Well so are knives but they are more difficult to check. It is all so sad..🌺

Re: TAPS

I agree with you - it's a horror and a misery for all who care about children.

Re: Sherri G

I totally agree with you; gun laws need a serious overhaul.

Pat....

.....Such a horror that they pick on little children and school teachers as the focus of their own problems.   What and unbelievable misery for the parents.

Mental illness is a complex mystery compounded by misery, depression, and God knows what. Where it takes them when untreated is only known to the beholder, as to why they cross into such a violent path to express their inner turmoil by taking the lives of innocent people who did absolutely nothing to them. Gun laws need a serious overhaul. The Columbine High School and the Sandy Hook shootings raised awareness, but we have a long way to go.
