All of this killing is so heartbreaking I cannot understand how someone can be so evil inside to do other human beings this way. May God be with all these families
Went to summer camp when I was 9, there was horrible tragedy one of the cabins caught fire and it killed one of my friends. I am still traumatized 35 years later. I can only imagine children who go through a mass shooting. This is so heartbreaking. And the parents…ugh smh
My condolences to the family
My Mom is a teacher and my Dad is a firefighter. I am way more worried about my mom than my dad these days - and there is something very wrong with that.
“I’m upset that I didn’t graduate. So I’m going to make sure that others never get the chance to.” What a monster. I cannot imagine what these families are feeling.
My condolences to the families, this is so devastating. My heart goes out to the parents and families of the teachers, this is too much. We need to pray against this madness and identify people who are angry and get them mental health before they reach a boiling point!
My heart goes to the children who witnessed their classmates being killed but are still alive to heal from the trauma
This makes feel so powerless, I can’t believe we live in a world where someone could do this… I’m just so disheartened… my deepest condolences to the families and I’m praying for everyone involved
I didn't even want to take my daughter to school today. This is sad beyond words. Rest in Peace all the victims and my condolences to the families.
This is so very heartbreaking! As a mother of a 4 and 6 year old I couldn't even imagine going through this! Prayers go out to the families and rest in peace little angels 🙏
This is such sad situation! I cannot even imagine what these parents are going through. R.I.P. to the families, the little kids that lost their lives, and the struggles they are going to have to go through in the future with a loss of their kids! So heartbreaking!
My heart just breaks for the students and teachers, family and friends of all who died and survived.
You don’t even need to be a parent to feel the pain in your heart with this. RIP little angels
"and unfortunately the rest is history"
Only the most evil mind could even consider hurting a child.
Poor kids, I can’t imagine the fear they must have had, and of course the ones that died. It’s hard to even imagine what there going through
To take the life of innocent kids like that is just sick. I mean what can be missing in your soul to PHYSICALLY kill, not only a person, but a child..and not just A child...but 19 children. As a father I can't even wrap my head around this and I give my deepest condolences to the families that have to go through this. God this just breaks my heart.
I feel terrible for the first responders who had to witness this scene. My gosh. I know they see a lot but this must be among the most traumatic one could experience. My heart goes out to the first responders, survivors, parents, teachers and their families. We have to do better as a society. Love one another.
This was very well done and felt genuine. I live here in Texas VERY CLOSE to where this occured. The most upsetting thing about this all to me is that it doesn't feel like anyone who's covering the story cares enough. I even watched Greg Abbott speak about it and just... Everything feels off. Everyones already thinking about alternative motives and their own agenda.
Poor babies, I can't even imagine the fear they must've felt. The poor teacher died trying to protect her students. I can't imagine what being parent is like knowing your babies might not come back when you dropped them off at school. My heart is with yall. I'm never having children. I couldn't bare the anxiety.
