Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

I looked at the pictures of the grieving parents and crying children and wondered: What next?

Will school districts across the nation now have to hire armed security guards to cover every entrance? Will school bus drivers now have to be trained to carry a gun and be willing to kill?

No family should have to worry whether a child will be murdered at school. No child should be afraid to go to school.

My heart and prayers go out to the families of the murdered children, and I grieve with them because I have six great-grandchildren attending school, and I pray I will never have to attend a funeral for them.
