Once again another college shooting, this is so horrible. My heart goes out to the victims and the the family of the shooter, these poor families losing their children to violence like this is so tragic and really in the long run....stupid. The families of both the victims and the shooter are left to bear the comments and deal with all the saddness and not having their loved ones. God Bless to both families.

More senseless killings - it just breaks my heart. This one has hit pretty close to home for me. I live in central Illinois, and in our local paper they interviewed a girl who works in the bookstore at the university. Imagine my shock- she is not only from my hometown, but she attended the elementary school that I have been at for the past 13 years. The sweetest girl you could ever know! She literally pulled one of the shooting victims, who was wounded, into the bookstore, and locked the doors behind them. She said the whole thing was surreal - you hear about these things and see them on TV. She never could have imagined herself in the middle of something like this. Needless to say, this will affect the rest of her life, as well as all those other students, and their families.

My heartfelt prayers go out to any and all that have been affected by this most recent tragedy.
Hugs,

Is it me, or are these college shootings becoming more frequent? Seems you'd hear about them once every couple of years., but now it's every other month...what is happening to the world?
