I was saddened yesterday by another senseless high school shooting near me at Freeman High School in Rockford, Washington. One student was killed and 3 more injured but should survive. The shooter is in custody – a student.
I am thinking about the teachers, families and children who were affected by this terrible violence when creating this drawing and lighting a candle of peace.
I do not know the people who were shot but I think a tragedy such as this touches us all. Hug those you love today…
Peace Friends! 💜
Oh dear. I hadn’t even heard. So so sad.

Yes, not something you’d expect in a small high school of about 300 students. The boy who was killed had lost his father recently. I cannot imagine what his family must be going through. 😔

Thank you, Kerfe – so hard to understand why kids reach for guns these days when they are upset. What happened to talking to a friend?

Or when my brothers were in high school, fist fights. But the only calamity from that was (once) a broken nose. And maybe some wounded egos.
