That shooting was sad, very sad....and the kid behind the shooting was very disturbing, it's a shame no one could help the poor boy. He had so much life ahead of him still.

The day before Minnesota shooting, our school had a death threat. There were about 20 cops on campus, no one could be in the halls between classes- if you were, you were escorted by 2 cops to wherever you were going (even the bathroom!). They are tracking down who wrote the death threat in the bathroom (which they will not release), and they will be criminally charged and face jail time. The day of the Minnesota shooting a kid brought a sawed off shotgun into my friend school in Racine, Wisconsin. He did not have ammo and did not plan on killing- rather scare a gang that he was being threatened by.

School safety is a huge issue, there are many days when I do not feel safe at all- I have stayed home in the past due to safety issues. Downright pathetic!
