[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this has been posted yet; but an article from a witness on the bus, with more details about the incident as well as what the students were doing prior to it. It makes me so sad: the class seemed really exciting and meaningful; the professor planned an enriching day seeing a play and getting food together; and it sounds like the class, despite their different backgrounds, really bonded over the course material and enjoyed one another's company. This guy took something so positive and turned it into this.

This is unbearably sad.[/quote]

The humanity of this girl, to make sure the families know their loved ones were not alone in their last moments.  Unbearably sad, but also such a gift, because as a mom I know that would matter to me.  [/quote]
Yes, she’s extremely empathetic. I hope she gets help processing her grief, shock, fear and any possible survivor’s guilt or PTSD. I don’t want her to be plagued with her own mental health issues as a result.

I feel so bad for everyone affected by these shootings — obviously the victims and their families and friends, but also the professor, the bus driver, the other witnesses, the football program, students who were scared when they got the notification from campus security, parents who were worried about their students, family members of the shooter, the first responders who saw the carnage firsthand, the medical professionals who couldn’t save everyone. You hear the numbers, 3 dead and 2 others injured, and it sounds like a relatively contained situation, but trauma has been inflicted on a lot of people.[/quote]
