Senslessness

Kala and I were pretty shook up with the news from Colorado that a gunman had gone into a high school and ended up killing a girl. We lived in the Columbine area when that shooting took place in 1999 and it’s hard to forget the images. It’s amazing how something like this can bring back feelings and memories. To this day I get a little disturbed when I see a helicopter hovering because of the number of helicopters at that time.

While we do not know anyone directly affected by this tragedy, we feel for them. Platte Canyon High School was in my school’s conference so we played them in sports. I never really knew anyone that went there, but this still hits close to home.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the victim, the families of the students and staff as well as the emergency personell who responded. This will be a hard one to get over.
