We focus on the ones who have done the damage and the ones who have lost their lives during the horrors but what of those who survived? They try to go on living life as they are “supposed to” but for some, that is impossible.
There’s a scene in the Frank Capra movie Lost Horizon that always shakes me, no matter how many times I watch it. It’s near the end of the film, when Hugh Conway meets the leader of Shangri-La- the High Lama. In this meeting, Conway is introduced to all the truths of the magical place.

I agree Dale it’s the survivers who suffer the most, guilt, fear, loss. All weapons should be banned. All people and students should be searched at schools and public places. Did human rights the world does not deserve them in these cases. Ban weapons , security and a weapons ban or the right to carry a weapon and blood shed. I know what I want, no more weapon crime. Okay everyone tell me I am wrong 💜💜💜

We heard this story (and the subsequent one about a Sandy Hook parent who did the same thing). Heartbreaking on both counts. 💔

It so is. So that makes three following a mass shooting that take their own lives. This is such a tragedy.

After Columbine which was here in the metro area, there were these same kinds of ancillary victims as I recall. Gun violence is the gift that never stops giving. 😢
