Re: 鈥淥ne dead, 8 hurt, 2 arrested in Colorado school shooting,鈥� May 8.
I always enjoy reading my morning paper before going into work. However, Wednesday was a very different day. I was deeply saddened by the news of yet another shooting in a Colorado school.
The terror that students must feel is impossible to comprehend. Then there are officers who can hear the gunshots as they arrive at the school, not knowing what they are heading into.
It is a sad world when young people are able to pick up a gun and think it is OK to kill someone. Why do they have guns, where do they get them from and what motivates these people to murder others? Do they not have the mentality to foresee the consequences of their actions?
I cried when I saw the photo of the lovely young boy, crying as he was helped off the bus and into a recreation centre. What must he have been thinking? Was he wondering where his parents were? Will he ever trust anyone again?
