Wow! The things that go on in this world. I'm completely amazed with this news. For some reason the movie Higher Learning comes to mind.

Ok, it sounds like the media is confusing casualties and fatalities.

Now they are saying 20 killed. Sad. One shooter is found dead, not sure if he was shot or killed himself.

It's very sad when something like this happens. But, when it involves kids, teenagers, it's a lot worse and harder to take.
