I had a great deal of anger. Mostly at the shooter (and more as I learned the connection between the shooter and the school (although note, I have deliberately avoided the news today so my info may be out of date) but also a lot at the reporters who seemed to be interviewing children without adults present.

One thing I have learned is for disasterous events such as this, my best strategy is to listen for about 10 minutes while events are unfolding so I get the basics, then wait at least a day so I get the whole story ... but only have to listen to it once. There's no point in listening to the partial story a hundred times over. It doesn't inform me and it doesn't help me bear witness.
