The First 2 Minutes Had Me Laughing. The Rest Shook Me To The Core.

A really personal look at what it must *feel* like to have been there — and lived. You’ll be hooked after two minutes. I’m not even being cute. This is so powerful.

I lived in a town when there was a mass shooting in our City Hall. I wasn’t there. Other leaders in my town were present at the shooting. Some lived. Some didn’t. I brought a casserole to one of the city council member’s wives whose husband had been shot and killed. The funeral for the shooter was held at my church.

I have never seen a better representation of the lost feeling my whole town had for weeks after the shooting.


Too often we have these mass shootings. Too often.
