It is Terrible!
Young lives taken away for nothing.
Many lives are affected and more will be.

Does anyone know that Columbine's anniversary was this week?
Does anyone also know the signifacance of April 20 th? (Hitlers B/day)

Our local radio broke into regular programming and has been covering it this morning.

We are not immune in Canada. We have had a few shootings at schools.

It makes me sick to my stomach. I just want to cry. My daughter is in college in east Tennessee and that was the first thing I thought of. Like some of the other sentiments that have been expressed, I can't imagine as a parent, waiting to find out if my child was okay.

So, how many other people have been shot so far today?

What do you mean? Nationwide? I don't understand what you mean.

Whether in Virginia, nationwide, or worldwide.

Chancellor, you have a point.
On another note-you obviously ain't a parent.
As a parent my heart goes out these people who lost thier children.
I am just as saddened over the one body that was found in a car by Steadfasts
son.

Ah, but I am.

But not just the children at VA Tech.

Chancellor, there are people dying every day. I open up the Obituaries in our local paper and it is loaded with people every day that go into Eternity.
My heart is grieved.

However, the grand scale of this violent act grabs our attention and causes us to ask, why?

Why another shooting?
As a parent have we remembered to hug our children today? Our loved ones?

And yes it does drive home the point of our mortality.
