Tragedy … Too Close to Home
Add another shooting rampage on a college campus to the ever-expanding list. This one happened in my own back yard, so to speak. Roughly 60 miles southwest of Chicago in DeKalb, IL a gunman opened fire in front of a geology class, shooting 21 students, before killing himself. Three victims were killed on site, two more victims died following transport to area hospitals, where two victims remain in critical condition. This is a new and disturbing chapter in the book of life as we know it today. A new chapter of the same old story; the senseless killing of innocent people. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved, directly or indirectly, in this horrifying series of events. I really can’t begin to completely put into words the sadness that I feel right now. What really can be said?
Unbelievably, this is the fourth shooting at a school here in the US, within the last week.
