For those not directly involved in this tragedy, it is hard to understand their innermost deep feelings. If a father could not get over this tragedy, how can we hope the students themselves can. My prayers are with all of them.

'Apparent suicide' claims second Parkland school shooting survivor in a weekA second student at the Florida high school where a gunman's rampage killed 17 people last year was found dead of an apparent suicide. Suicide is a contagious mental disorder, and we must do all we can to stop people from acting on it. Pray for their souls. And the GOP should be held accountable for these.
