THOUGHTS, PRAYERS, ANSWERS?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the community of Virginia Tech who were involved in the unbelievable tragedy that occured yesterday in Blacksburg.

Pete and I watched the news last night, as most of the country was probably doing, and couldn't fathom the sight of the police hiding behind trees while a gunman is littering a classroom with bullets. How do you not shut down the campus after an initial shooting? Don't you assume the worst in a situation like this? Haven't we seen this situation before? When I first heard the news on CNBC, I didn't even stop to watch. Is our society so engulfed in violence I've become numb to it?
