Just one normal day at school, turns into a tragic event. No one knows when or where it will happen or why it will, It just happens. Normal people turning into killers. If you haven’t figured it out yet I am talking about the school shootings in our country, America. Aren’t we supposed to be perfect, nothing wrong, nothing will go wrong. But we aren’t.

I am sure were very relieved. But for the five families that got a phone call late that night, saying their child has been shot while attending class, were devastated. Imagine coming home from work and turning your television on and seeing, all over the news, that there was a shooting at your child’s school. You try calling your daughter or son and no one ever answers. Some of the people had no signal, some simply could not answer because they were dead. Which would you want to believe? I know I would want to believe they were fine and on their way...
