      A parents worst nightmare.  My heart aches for those kids and their families.  Just terrible!

        Is there anyone from that area on RA?  If so I hope all they are all safe.

          I saw a picture of them evacuating kids, and they were all crying.  I can't help but think about my kids being in that scenario.  It makes me sick to my stomach.

          Do you even run?

            Truly tragic!   I saw this on the news in the breakroom just now.   I also read about some other idiot in China who stabbed like 22 kids at school there.   Very, very sad.   My thoughts and prayers are with these kids and their families / friends.

              There are no words.  My heart just breaks for those parents.  Kindergartners through 4th graders..

                Very tragic!  I really don't get why anyone would do this at all.

                  Last I saw the report was 3 injured and 1 dead.  Now it's 26 dead, 18 of them kids.  My stomach is turning.

                  Do you even run?

                      They're all tragedies, but  this is gonna be a bad one of epic proportions.

                        We missed or ignored the warning signs ... again.

                          What would possess someone to target children, especially this young?!?

                          Not quite right

                                Apparently the shooter used a .223 during his spree. I can't imagine the devastation. Absolutely sickening.

                                They'll tell you that failure is not an option.  That's ridiculous.  Failure is always an option.  It is the easiest and most readily available option.  It's your choice though.
