Officials in Colorado made school safety and mental health a priority Monday, nearly a week after a Denver-area school shooting left one dead and eight injured.
A gunman started shooting during an English class last Tuesday at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Douglas County. The gunman was tackled by other students who wrestled the gun away. As a result of the shooting, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously for a $10 million commitment to school safety and mental health. The commissioners will discuss how the one-time lump sum will be spent at their May 28 meeting. 'use strict';CNN.Videx=CNN.Videx || {};CNN.Videx.

Wasn’t the shooter a gay and a transgender?
The NRA should be labeled as a terrorist organization for promoting and enabling these mass murders.
Notice how they didn’t mention the shooter was transgender?

Oh that's sad
Hopefully others will follow suit for better preventative measures
And no mention of sorrow/sympathy from POTUS realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse NRA. They don’t care about mental health or people who get shot/killed. They only care about how many guns they sell and how much the NRA pays them in “contributions” for their political support.
Get 'er done... 👋👋👋 .
Gun insurance is the answer.
GOP must protect The Second Amendment, we can't live without guns.
