in mourning



It's hard to watch. It's hard to understand. There is really nothing easy about the tragedy that Virginia Tech faced on Monday, April 16, 2007. I have (like many of you) watched and read the testimonies and stories that the survivors are telling.
"He had no expression" one student said.
"He just came in and started shooting" another recounted.
The gun control debate has regained steam and once again leadership decision during a crisis are at the center of attention. What do we do with our grief? Who should feel our rage? What place does the media have in all of this?
I think these are great questions to be asked. I don't think I have the answers. I can only say that my thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of the victims.
