Yesterday, a deranged 16-year-old shot his way through the locked doors of an elementary school in Bend, Oregon. Once inside, he murdered three young children and a teacher. A disabled child in a wheelchair who was shot in the face and another teacher were critically injured. The youngest victim—five years old—had just started kindergarten last month.
Our hearts are broken over this senseless atrocity. Our deepest condolences and prayers are with those grieving families.
