Some Welcome Back to School Not

How heart-breaking. If the school received a threat by phone, they should have immediately alerted the police and begun an evacuation. I remember there was a 'threat' made at a park near our son's high school, years ago. It was a note found on a piece of paper, it did state his school and the so-called date of the alleged incident that they were planning. The school took this very seriously and together with the local police they came up with a plan to draft a letter to all parents explaining the threat and that it was optional to send the students to school on that day. If they went there would be many police officers there to check bags and backpacks and parents should remain available if they receive a call to retrieve their student. Our son stayed at home, nothing happened on that day.

We have to start being proactive when it comes to our youth's mental health.

When will people wake up. So sad for all involved

I think the internet isolates kids, increasing mental illness. Do we know what kind of weapon the child used?

I am saddened to hear about another school shooting in our land today.

This is terrible, how is it possible that this still happens?!

And, of course nothing is going to be done about it. Because cell phones are the problem. I just give up.

Horrifying.

It seems this happens more and more.

oh my. This is so sad and traumatizing

That's really sad. Parents will always fear sending their children to school.

That’s heartbreaking and deeply unsettling. It’s tragic to see such violence disrupt what should be a time of learning and safety. My thoughts are with everyone affected by this terrible event. It’s devastating to think that something like this could happen anywhere, especially in a place meant for growth and education.
