The 8th School Shooting of the Year.

in #news6 years ago

Today was Valentine’s Day for us here in the US and Ash Wednesday for Catholics around the world. Today was also the day that we had our 8th school shooting for 2018. Less than 8 weeks into the year! Today there have been 17 casualties and more than 20 injured at a high school in Parkland Florida a southern area of Florida. Today’s shooting was done by a former student who has been arrested and is being held.
This is something that is happening at a rate that I can’t comprehend and we must do something. Our children’s lives are not take chances with nor can we continue to sit back and allow these evil people to rob them of their future. I am asking for prayers for the victims, their families, and all involved. We know the political parties of the US will use this shooting to bring up gun control again, but now is the time for us all to come together and put aside political parties and come up with strategies to keep our children safe. Kids should not fear going to school for any other reason than failing a test, not for their lives. Rise up and let’s take back our schools, rise up and stop hatred of all kinds.
No More Hate… only Love
