[quote=Anonymous]It's shocking when something like this happens, because it's so sudden and unexpected, and we feel like we have no control over it. It helps to put the actual risk in perspective, though. For instance, your child is 10x more likely in any given year to be killed in a car accident than in some kind of shooting event (and the odds of death by shooting are even lower if you don't have a gun in your house). The relative odds are about the same that your child will be diagnosed with cancer in any given year than they they'll be killed in a shooting event. These events are terrible and they touch us deeply and we should put effort into figuring out how to minimize the odds, but the actual risk that your child will be a victim is incredibly small.[/quote]
