A small East Texas community decided to “go blue” with colored attire and a positive spirit for a Troup High School football player who was severely injured during a homecoming game Friday night.
The support for Cooper Reid was seen Saturday night on the very field where the varsity player suffered a severe head injury the night before. Sources close to Reid’s family said he has been in the hospital ever since. While he fights to recover, the small town of Troup fights alongside him with their"go blue" campaign. School leaders even made the decision to cancel the homecoming dance and hold a vigil instead.
“Cooper’s condition, we just felt like it was an evening better spent praying for Cooper and his family and his recovery,” said Tammy Jones, Troup ISD superintendent.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

Humble ISD, other agencies take action to prevent active shooter situations through trainingAs the school year is in full swing, Humble ISD police chief Solomon Cook says that his officers will be skillfully prepared in case of an active shooter situation. Or, and hear me out, ban assault rifles. I surely do hope that they have done a thorough examination of their doors AND made any necessary adjustments. Don't you, SenTedCruz ? You can't prevent it. You have to know Who, What, When, and Where to prevent it and you don't. I'm sure everyone thinks they are prepared until it happens. But Reality is a whole other Animal. And Talk is Real Cheap.
