Well, it's come to my district, the biggest in WA state. Today there was a shooting at one of our high schools: shooting at Seattle high school. I heard about it immediately because my teen attends a magnet program that splits after middle school between two high schools -- that is the one he doesn't attend. A 17-year-old was killed by a 14-year-old; the reports from students seem to be (from what I have heard) that the two had some sort of conflict, and the 14-year-old shot him to death. It's just devastating every time this happens, and it is awful to have it in your own community.

I’m so sorry that has happened at all but especially because it’s so close to home.

I'm so sorry. When DD(25) was in K we had a 6th grader bringing a gun to school in Kirkland. The horror of it has never left me.

I’m sorry this issue has moved closer to home for you, it is salt in the wound of existing heartbreak. My prayers are with all affected.
I saw this on Twitter a bit ago and found it encouraging - let’s stay hopeful and never stop fighting. Shannon Watts’ organization Moms Demand Action is a force to be reckoned with, and these numbers are inspiring.
