72. What can I even say?

This high school is about 30 miles from my kiddo's high school. They played this school in football a couple weeks back. My kid is terrified to go back to school tomorrow because they don't want to get shot... and I can't blame them. I'm scared too. They shouldn't have to deal with this. What am I even supposed to say to that? This isn't right. Our kids deserve better than this.
