By Katie Mettler Katie Mettler Reporter covering breaking news and features Email Bio Follow May 10 at 8:24 PM High school graduation was just weeks away and Gina Warren was discussing commencement cap crafting with friends.
And now, weeks away from her commencement, she was reminded that those same students wouldn’t get to graduate, either.By Wednesday evening, her cap was complete. On Thursday night, she posted it on Twitter. “I decorated my graduation cap,” she typed, then hit send on a video. She had no idea hundreds of thousands of people were about to see.
— Amelia Combs May 10, 2019 Teays Valley High School is a midsize school in a small, conservative town. What Warren did, Combs said, is brave. “I didn’t grow up that way. I don’t think we ever had a lockdown drill,” said Combs, who was a junior in high school when gunmen attacked Columbine High School. “It’s a whole different world.”
Another woman wrote that she is a relative of Casey Jordan Marquez, a student on Warren’s list from Aztec, N.M., who was killed at school in 2017. “We miss her every. single. second. of. every. single. day. since she was gunned down. Thank you for this. From the bottom of my [heart],” the woman wrote. “You are an angel.”
It was tough, Warren said, to research every high school shooting since Columbine, to learn the victims’ names and read the news articles about the way they died.
What an incredibly sad country we live in. Bless her heart.
Good bless her!

How to talk to your kids about school shootings, like the one at Colorado's STEM schoolAfter the shooting at STEM school Highlands Ranch in Colorado, we revisit how to talk to your kids about school shootings. It’s called a gun training course I'm always interested in hearing what these shooters backgrounds are in regards to school discipline.

Kendrick Castillo was about to graduate from high school. Then a classmate began shooting.Police say the shooting was carried out by other students: 18-year-old Devon Erickson and a younger classmate who has not been identified because she is a juvenile. In wish the pussies in government had as much coverage as this young boy showed yesterday. The NRA needs to thank all the children who die for gun rights. We need to stop putting our children on the front lines of gun violence. We need to stop it from happening in the first place.
