A student took a gun to Tommy’s school today. I know it happens a lot more than I’d like to know and that usually nothing happens. This time something did happen. It happened over spitting kool-aid. All I can think about is how Tommy carelessly annoying the wrong student could have devastating results. Tommy doesn’t think before he acts. He just does whatever pops in his head. Tommy is a danger to himself. These are the times when I want to lock the doors and hide.
Update: today’s newspaper coverage
How SCARY! The older they get, it seems the more there is to worry about…
I haven’t heard about that yet — I haven’t been watching the news. Yeep!
Kelly (5) told me about practicing school lock downs, hiding under the desk and being really really quiet “in case there’s a stranger in the school.” What happened to fire drills and tornado drills?
Let us know what the details are when you learn of them. Sorry it’s hitting so close to home.
OMG I can’t even imagine that, how horrible.
