Nighthawk,

I'm so deeply thankful your daughter is OK, physically. Please do ensure she gets the help she needs to get through this; some mental wounds can be worse than more tangible ones.

As a member of a community that was deeply affected by a mass shooting 18 months ago, I've some small idea what the people of Aurora are going through.

I'm of a mind that we're facing an epidemic; not counting the incident in Aurora, 143 people have been murdered and 300 wounded in mass shootings in the United States just since the Tucson massacre.

Being moved is not enough if we are not moved to do something.

Lest I hijack this thread with my thoughts, you can read more at Another massacre: Prayers no longer enough if you're interested.
