...but we know he's alive and unhurt. My son got a text from him.

We heard at the market today from a woman who lives in Trenton that a 13 year old boy is in critical condition and not expected to live.

This is so tragic. I mean you definitely feel for all the other victims of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell around the country, but rightly or wrongly, it feels very different when it's this close to home.
