Except for alcohol poisoning, traffic accidents and hazing stunts gone awry.

I grew up not far from Columbine, and my family still lives in the area. 9 years later and its still in people's minds. My nieces' school saw an influx of students as parents transferred their kids out of Columbine, and one of my nieces became good friends with a girl that was shot in the shoulder and lost her brother. These shootings don't just impact for a week or a month or a school year. The impact is for a lifetime, even for those that knew no one.
My husband and I moved to Virginia the week of the Virginia Tech shootings. My memory of moving in is sitting on the inflatable mattress, watching the news of the shootings. My prayers go out to the victims and their families. |

This is terrible news. I hope the community can stick together through this and find some way to move forward.

The depths of human mental malfunction are difficult to even ponder. How in the *hell* does someone get to the point in their mind where taking weapons into your school and blowing away innocents seems to make any sort of sense? And then, kill yourself? Why not just blow your own brains out first? Maybe even do it in the lecture hall, in front of everyone. You'll still make the news, make a statement, and be remembered as a psycho, same as if you take out the other people.
This is so wrong. So bad. So sick.
