School shootings

Five people were killed last week at Northern Illinois University before the gunman committed suicide.
We’re hearing more and more about random shootings. After each, the media analyze the shooter’s personality to see if there were clues ahead of time that the person may go off the deep end and harm others.
Do you know where your kids are at night? Have you met their friends? Their friends’ parents? Do you know what music your kids listen to? What Web sites they frequent? Is your house so big that you can be in one part of the house without knowing what other members are doing in other parts of the house?
Schools all over the country have tightened security to try to prevent shootings such as last week’s. And there’s no telling how many deaths may have been averted because of these measures. But not every tragedy can be prevented.
All of us can help by keeping in touch with our families, their friends, our neighbors and our community.
What are your thoughts? What can we each do to take care of each other?
