8. It just breaks my heart.

As a kid, we had those stupid air raid drills, which were really scary.

But I can't imagine being a kid today and having to have drills about lone shooters coming into your school.

Tragic, just effing tragic.

9. my kid told me they had these in middle school andI felt the same way, so sad

10. To the NRA and

it's apologists, this event is "statistically" insignificant because some child was most likely killed in an automobile accident today, or maybe drowned in a swimming pool. These shootings are just "friendly fire" from the battle against the "government" to prevent them from confiscating our sacred guns.

All we need to do is improve mental health care in this nation, and these insignificant school shootings will stop.

Although this is on my part, sadly there are many "gun enthusiasts" who actually believe this way...

11. I guess a 13 year old is in custody

When guns outnumber m and m's I suppose it is easier to shoot someone then to offer them a candy coated chocolate.

12. Why weren't any of the aliens armed?

13. And Berrendo is the Middle School

in what is considered one of the "good" and "safe" parts of Roswell (far north).

14. NM is bristling with guns

something I can understand in less urban parts of the state where bears and rattlesnakes are common pests.

I'm really surprised this doesn't happen more often. It does in other states with high gun ownership.
