    My heart breaks every time these stories arise. Such senseless and unexplainable loss for the families.

    Went early this morning to catch some fish. Had to get out of the water because my phone wouldn't stop ringing over this thing. 

    This stuff has got to stop. We are going in tonight to train a group of teachers on Active Shooter training. 

    Get your educators educated on how to deal with this, y'all. Minutes can save lives.

    We started teaching our kids how to bum rush shooters.  My six year old son is getting pretty good at it.  His older step sister gets a lil scared when I bring my Glock out of the closet but she'll get over it eventually.  She is not my spawn an her dad is kind of a chickenshit.

    Many of todays problems are linked to your writings found above and what everyone's true rights are.  The world will long debate this by far more learned people than me but the simple approach may turn out to be the best.

    I think they'll look back on these times, in the distant future, and find it hard to believe kids were allowed on devices and social media unfettered.  They are having a profound effect on mental and social development.

    The toll has climbed to 2 dead, 19 injured, and 1 more is hanging on by a thread.

    The journalists covering this said it was a 15 year old male with a hand gun that started shooting in a common area before classes.

    Benton, Kentucky is a small tight knit community. I know people there. It is close to LBL, one of the most beautiful places on earth.

    Social media? Probably. Access to weapons, definately.

    Sounds like a good plan.  What could possibly go wrong?

    I don’t know who you are or who’s troll account you are, but using a situation like this to try and be funny or garner some kind of reaction is the height of tastelessness. Take it elsewhere.

    As part of the school curriculum, the children at Marshall County High School have had some previous training on reaction, and what to do when gun violence occurs.
