Yes his name is Salvador Ramos and was killed by the police.

This is just terrible. This is even closer to us - I do not understand why someone would do this.

He also killed his grandmother. OMG - very stressful. Some of the schools around there are shutting down for the year.

Yes- basically less than 50 miles from us. So scary.

I had a feeling it was close to Penny and Clem.
I just do not understand how this can happen again and again.
It makes me want to gather my family and just live as hermits. I do know that isn't the answer, its just my initial reaction.
I am just remembering all the times I spent working in schools and those young innocent babies.

OMG - the death count is going up - the first one they identified was the teacher - a young female!

I was supposed to meet with the Methodist preacher tomorrow, but he is over in Uvalde helping out. OMG - I can't stop crying.

One of the best ministers my hometown church had was from Uvalde. He probably knew some of those people. I am sure he is praying for them.

I thought after Sandy Hook that surely no more children were going to be slain at school, but nothing ever changes except the upward march of the body count. Those poor little ones. Their poor parents.
