Columbine, 10 years later
Wow, I’m sure a lot of us still remember it as it was yesterday. We were glued to our television sets as the day unfolded at Columbine High School. When the day was over, 12 students and 1 teacher were dead. There were another 23 that were wounded.
I can’t believe that is has already been 10 years. There are vigils and gatherings set up all around Denver CO, yesterday and today to hold those lives that we lost in memory.
A lot was learned of the tragedy. Gun laws have changed. Operational procedures have become more aggressive in many places to go after gunmen, instead of approaching with caution. A lot that was learned at Columbine was applied at Virginia Tech when a shooter claimed 32 lives 2 years ago.
I ask that you all take a moment of silence today to observe those lives that we lost 10 years ago today and for the brave women and men that kept the lives lost to a minimum.
