My Grandma, Neva, died protecting her elementary students at the Red Lake school shooting in Minesota, I can't imagine a world where this kind of thing happens. I am so sorry to the families who lost loved ones, nobody deserves this...

Look how young they are, i remember 13 being one of my first big milestones right after noticing i was growing in size. They will never get to experience any of that PLUS all of the other experiences we all loved growing up in school. RIP to all these young babies.

Who can look at those innocent faces and just shoot them. I cannot even begin to imagine what these families are going through. I have a grandbaby in elementary school and seeing these parents going up there not knowing if their child was alive or dead was so heartbreaking! My heart goes out to all of these families!

I have a 9 year old, she’s my only child. I can’t imagine the pain it would cause me. I would die inside..no longer a mother, I would grieve for ever.

The fact that he was able to purchase a gun so easily with out any background check at 18 years old is crazy

I couldn't handle it, that would be the end of me to lose a child like that. It hurts so much just thinking about the loss, there's nothing that can even be said to console someone in this situation. But I am praying for the families regardless.

As I deal with the loss of my own child this story just tears me apart even more. I couldn’t imagine the heartbreak those families are going through to know their children suffered this way. This world can be a tormenting and cruel place where monsters are free to walk among us! My condolences to those families.

This is just sickening what could these children of done to deserve this😭 my thoughts and prayers are with the families who are mourning the loss of a loved one today. Let's remember and mention only those lost and never say the cowards name!!

[cpatelbg]

This is so heartbreaking. RIP to all those innocent angels. The US needs to change. I am definitely not staying here

[irenedomanski]

OMG.... I have no I am so sorry for everyone involved

[mr.romero]

It should mandatory for all schools to have key card access to every single door at a school with 2 Physically fit officers at every school in the nation. That’s tax money well spent.

[rubyjunrose]

I’m so sad for those kids who lost their lives. RIP beautiful little people.😭

[KN-koez]

Maybe some of that $40B in “aid” sent to Ukraine could have been spent on security at our schools. Just an afterthought now.

[SirCraftGuyMusic]

This is horrifying. I don’t know how someone can just go into a school and shoot young kids like that. No thought no mercy. Absolutely disgusting.

[cra]

just imagine being called and being told your child had died

[blustar]

This is crazy 😳 dang r.i.p beautiful children n fellow 🍵 teachers

[lindafogel]

How could killing 19 innocent elementary grade children possibly make your life better or correct any wrongs he felt done to him make things change for him. ?
Mental issues need taken care of as soon as they pop up and guns what can people keep saying about them ! There are 21 new reasons now My Prayers to all the victims and their bereaved families

[mads]

This is absolutely horrific. A tragedy hat could have been prevented. My thoughts go to the victims families and everyone in the community.

The American "Democracy" decline affects Family Safety & Security. Blame the Politicians.
