Official: 1 dead, 4 hurt in Ohio school shooting

Impossible, everyone knows schools are Gun Free Zones.

Officials have no clue.

I'm sure the kid just missed the "No Guns" sign on the door. Had he seen that sign he wouldn't have done that! :VeryScared:

Prayers for all those folks out there but especially to the families of those directly affected.

This happened at Chardon High School - my kids would have gone there had we not moved to Colorado as we moved from Chardon. Also, a friend (also transplanted from Cleveland metro area) posted this on facebook:

Please pray for everyone involved in the tragic shooting in Chardon, Ohio. The high school was probably 25 miles from where I once lived with my parents. Also, my neice's boyfriend's cousin, Danny, was the one person that has died in this terrible situation. Please pray for him and his family. Thank you.

Prayers to the people involved and their families, when will this insanity stop?

I would also offer our condolences and prayers to the families and to the entire community suffering as a result of this violent and senseless tragedy. I would also like to offer the following for everyone's consideration:

We, as parents, students, and communities can, and must, do more to help ensure our schools are safe environments when we send our children off. As parents of two children who were at Columbine on April 20, 1999 (one of whom was critically injured) and two others who graduated from Platte Canyon prior to that tragedy, we feel our communities must get more actively involved. We cannot depend solely on the schools and the 1st response agencies themselves - not because they aren't doing their jobs, but, rather, because they could use the help. There are multiple web sites available that can help in this process. We are providing links to two of them below:

http://iluvuguys.org/ (probably the most familiar to those of us who live up here in the 285Bound Community

http://thepeacechallenge.org/ a lesser known source that is still a work in progress.

Please consider visiting both sites and getting actively involved. The PEACE Challenge, while relatively new, provides information on what parents, students, and communities can do to help ensure safer schools (this is the part that is still a work in progress - we are looking for information, links, etc., that we can post for all to see and use free of charge - if you have any such sources, please provide and they will be posted). It also provides a forum in which individuals who register (it's free with no obligation) can offer their personal experiences, thoughts, ideas, and suggestions on what could be done in this (and other) arenas.

Perhaps one of the things we could do to honor those affected most directly by this most recent school violence tragedy is to not only engage in random acts of kindness, but also get more actively involved in the school safety dialogue and process.

Thanks, and hope to see you there.
