How are you not overwhelmed with fear?

In Dec 2012, after the Sandyhook shooting, my kids were very young - a toddler and young infant - and not in school. I was working only part time and they were cared for by loving grandparents the rest of the time. The tragedy affected me, but I was not paralyzed with fear. Now my kids are in daycare/kindergarten and I'm obsessively watching/reading about Oregon. I dropped my kids off at school today and then sat in the parking lot waiting for 15 minutes, because I noticed a guy in a car sitting across from the school that I didn't recognize. I didn't leave for work until I saw that car move. Now I'm rethinking where to send our kids next year - public? private? homeschool? move to Canada?
Seriously losing it here. Anyone else just feel like you have zero control over this?


CT is a blue state
