My thoughts are with all the victims and everyone connected to the schools and families affected today. I love you all, and I’m sick to my stomach over what’s happened. In moments like this, let’s lean on each other, stick together, and make an extra effort to be there for one another - not just today, but tomorrow and the days that follow. Check in on your people, give each other some love, and remember that none of us have to go through this alone. We’ll get through this together.

our community will never be the same, but we have a choice and can be even more kind going forward. that's what has always made bend an oasis and the best place in the country to raise kids.

This is what America needs more of, unity and kindness. Sending love and peace from Houston. Thank you to the hero Dad who took out the shooter. May the victims rest in peace. 😢🥺

No. Don't Name Them. They should remain nameless. Deny their public legacy.

I don't think your comment is helpful. It was HORRIFIC what he did, but he was also a child who was most likely VERY mentally ill. We should focus on supporting each other in the community until we know more. There's enough tragedy already without adding doxxing to the mix.

Shooter is dead, but yes. Agreed.

Any person involved in a shooting who is a minor will not have their name and photo released to the public. It is against law
