I retired as an educator 7 years ago yesterday. I HATED the active shooting or lockdown drills. During one, I had a student in my office as a planned but unannounced drill started. As we huddled under the desks (my office had a wall of windows), the student, an 11th grader, experienced an anxiety attack. They did not know it was just a drill, so I had to quickly reassure them.
What, to America’s schoolchildren, is the Second Amendment?
This is heart-wrenching and important. And kind of personal (my bride grew up 2 blocks south of Annunciation, went to school & mass there; I’ve attended some services and weddings there some decades ago).

In #books: On August 3, 2019, I was nearly 2,000 miles away in Washington, D.C., where I worked as a national political reporter in the bureau of The Boston Globe. It was a Saturday, and I was in a movie theater when my phone lit up with calls and messages. https://www.texasobserver.org/el-paso-book-jazmine-ullo
