It was common place that fall to have the high school campuses locked down where outdoor activity was forbidden while the insanity of gunmen Malfo and Muhammed eluded police picking off innocent citizens literally down the street from where we live.
How utterly repulsive that these students again will equate their education with malicious violence of previously unknown proportions.
By the grace of God he and his other friends from here have been spared and I am very grateful to all here who were kind enough to inquire

I'm glad your son and his friends are OK! This was a horrible event, it is impossible for me to understand the inhumanity that must drive a person to commit such an act. It is a cruel world, American kids die in Iraq and in Virginia...I wish I had answers instead of so many questions.
