I was on my way home from a spin class when my kids told me about it. It is a terrible thing for any family.

My oldest is very active in scouts. He was quite concerned not knowing if some of his leaders were in attendance. Many of his scout leaders regularly attend these meetings. Daniel has been working with Mayor Swoboda on his Citizenship in the Community merit badge.

They shut down most of Kirkwood road for a while last night. This is the first time I have ever known our store to close early.

I know that the schools will be very distracted today.

It's a bad time when your community is the headline on CNN.
