At times like this, I seem to clam up. I don't understand, it doesn't compute and while the news reports, pictures, video streaming, and statistics are there, I still don't get it. Who does really? Who can explain why someone felt it was necessary to drill terror into the hearts of an entire campus, their friends and their families, and take life? Now the sanctity of the school is tarnished as blood was spilled in hallowed halls meant for safety. I've always thought of colleges as being the place where hopes and dreams flourish as students take their steps towards adulthood, and it only took one person take it away.

I know that they'll rebuild, the floors can be cleaned, chaos can be managed, and eventually, hearts will heal. But the scars are there.

My heart goes out to the families whose children were senselessly taken. I'm about at the end of my rope regarding school shootings and something drastic needs to be done to prevent another meaningless tragedy.
