This was absolutely amazing.
Definitely did not intend to read about a school shooting so close after the tragedy in Uvalde. But, this was an amazing piece that took the incident from different points of view both inside and outside of the massacre.
I think this is a great story that could possibly help to guide healing after an incident like this. The discussion questions at the end are also very well thought out and helpful for discussions on not only the story but how you add a person feel about the events that take place
