I really hate school shootings, as pretty much everyone does obviously.. when I was younger I lived in Arkansas and a family friend was killed in the Jonesboro, Arkansas school shootings in which several people were killed.. that's one of my first really bad memories. :(

School violence has become entirely TOO commonplace. :(
I can't imagine what hope there is for my grandchildren.
