Marysville, WA

That happened about 20 miles north of me. My friend is a crisis counselor at the neighboring high school and used to work there.
It is terrifying that it is so close to us. And so so so sad.
I talked with both of my boys today about it. I had 5 points that I shared with them.
#1 - I love them.
#2 - If you EVER see anybody with a gun, hear about a student with a gun, a student shows you a gun in his backpack...you immediately tell an adult. The very first adult you see.
#3 - We are not bullies. I do not ever want to hear about you bullying someone. And if you see someone bullying I expect you to step in. "Hey Nick, cut it out. Here, let me help you up." An act of kindness is so important.
#4 - If you EVER feel sad and depressed, you are getting bullied, you feel like you are drowning...please come and talk to me or dad. Grandparents, aunts, uncles...an adult that can talk with us. It's our job as the parents to help you through whatever problem you are having, find a doctor if we can't, a counselor, medication. Please NEVER feel like you are alone.
#5 - IF your school ever goes on lockdown always listen to the teacher. Be very quite. Do not try to be a hero. I want you home safe.
I have been praying for the school, students, staff, victims all day.

So sad. I pray that the students injured survive and make full recoveries. I pray for the families and students who are impacted O. way or another. And I pray for the family of the shooter helping them through this. I would be devastated if my child ended up being capable of such things.

I am watching this unfold o the television live. Marysville is about 40 miles north of my home. This is so sad, I have family who have kid who go to that high school. The kids are fine, but I will be anxiously waiting to hear how they are. I am praying for them.

Two people dead, including the shooter, who was a freshman boy. O. of the dead is a student, but they are not releasing any info about the 2nd person dead. 4 people are critically injured.

Will the violence ever stop? I am praying.

I wonder if it's another "Lone Wolf"???

It's sad that it's happened. Glad the death count is low.

Shame.

A DAMN shame.

Have been sending healing thoughts and prayers for ALL immediately touched by this.
