I wonder where the next one will be?
Maybe if more law abiding citizens were encourage to learn, practice and carry firearms this could have been stopped sooner or never happened in the first place. Don't you think there might be less shootings if perpetrators knew others were likely to be armed and ready to defend?
very helpful move! I’m sure it’s gonna stop all the school shootings
Virginia beach gunman gave resignation before shooting, was in good standing
Wearing blue= thoughts and prayers. Tell them not to return to school until something is done
That’s it?! School administrators should encourage students to become gun control activists; see MSDHS.
Thoughts and prayers everyone
