Please keep all of us HUSKIES in your thoughts and prayers. Its been a rough day trying to keep our heads up over the senseless acts of another individual. Personally knowing at least four of the victims it hurts so bad. Im still so scared to hear the names of the victims that have not yet been released. Some of them are in real bad shape and need all of our prayers so that no one has to lose anymore of their family members and friends. I dont think I can take another loss.

Add my prayers to the group Ashley, wish I had something good to tell you.

On Thursday a gunman armed with a shot gun and three handguns walked into lecture hall at my school and opened fire on a group of students and killed at least five so far and injured more than 20. Its just awful, you never think it could happen to you, but it can and it obviously does

OMG, I am so sorry. It is always a tragedy when this happens. It is unfortunate that any of us have to either witness these things, or even be involved. I will send my prayers up too......
