Victoria Soto was a teacher, who hid her students when she heard gunfire. When the shooter entered her classroom, she said that the children were all in the gym. She was shot.

I can't find the words to express the shock that these senseless acts keep happening. I hope all of them are in a better place right now, and I hope this event is the turning point where we finally address the fact that there are other rights besides those in the second amendment. Like the right to live your life.
