Where is the humanity?
The victims
On Monday afternoon, police identified the three students and three staff members who were killed.
Evelyn Dieckhaus, age 9, was a third-grader at the Covenant School, and her sister was a fifth-grader, according to The Tennessean. At a vigil, Evelyn's sister cried as she said, "I don't want to be an only child."
Hallie Scruggs, age 9, was the daughter of Chad Scruggs, the senior pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church, according to CBS News.
William Kinney, age 9
Cynthia Peak, age 61, was a substitute teacher, according to authorities. Tennessee's governor, Bill Lee, said Peak was a close friend of his wife, Maria.
Katherine Koonce, age 60, is identified on the school's website as the head of the Covenant School. Gov. Lee said Koonce was also a family friend.
Mike Hill, age 61, worked as a janitor at the school, police said. "We pray for the Covenant School and are so grateful that Michael was beloved by the faculty and students who filled him with joy for 14 years," his family said in a statement, according to The Associated Press. "He was a father of seven children ... and 14 grandchildren. He liked to cook and spend time with family."

Trump will fly home and sleep in his own bed tonight. The constant obsession with him lessens the attention to the real horrors going on in this world and those who are working on doing something about those issues.
