A seemingly endless list of shooting incidents beginning in 1997 and continuing through this past Monday. Word got out and the cops took the kid from school that afternoon, but those who had heard this student's threats knew who was on the list. I had friends on this list. I can't stomach hearing about these shootings anymore. We have younger brothers and sisters, cousins, nieces and nephews in public schools.
School is a staple in the lives of the majority of America's youth.
Regardless of what happens at home or around the community, it is expected that parents can send their children to school in the morning and that they will return at the end of the day. Children should not have to fear for their lives while contained within the walls of their school. He had mentioned to friends that he was going to bring a weapon but brushed it off and said he was joking. His friends believed him. And now there are two families in Santee who lost their children, and 14 others visiting their children in the hospital.
