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).

Thanks for posting this.

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?
