I don't know how you could possibly not know what happened yesterday in Littleton, Colorado. At least two gunmen (three suspected) walked into a high school and started opening fire and setting off homemade bombs. Jesus, what is it with kids these days? I know life is tough but is it really so tough that they have to take out their aggressions on everyone else with a gun. This is the fifth shooting at a school in the last 18 months. What really made it hit home is that two of my friend's cousins go to Columbine H.S. where this occurred. Christ almighty.

[editor's note: again, the "friend" was Katie and both her cousins survived. We were at the wedding for one of them when we were in Colorado in May 2013.]
