Azul my fellow Talossans,
As news broke today of another mass casualty shooting at yet another school, this one close to our own borders, the teacher in me reacted with stunned horror yet again at the senseless act of cruelty. I hope all Talossans will join me in a moment of silence as we grieve yet again the loss and harm caused to innocent children.

Columbine was the first shooting that struck my awareness as a high schooler.
But Sandy Hook was the last straw, for me.
Every shooting after that has me asking "is this who we are?"
And the next shooting that happens without policy changes is another "yes."
I also find sad that there have to be solutions made to a problem that should never exist in the first place... Stricter gun control would definitely work.
Let's just hope that the US government will actually do something about it and prevent loads of innocent lives being taken.
