Not again

Another school shooting.  And another one in Colorado.

We are very familiar with Bailey, Colorado.  We have clients that live there.  We have friends that live there.  We have listed and sold property there.  But, in all honesty, it is not a destination location.  It's one of those places that you pass through on the way to somewhere else.  Oh, it has Bailey Days every summer which is kind of fun and the river running through town is scenic. So why would a nut case choose Bailey to act out his murderous issues?

And who is this guy?  A transient apparently.  Living out of his Jeep the last few weeks at least.  Someone who had lots of guns and apparently not many friends or family members that he was close to.

We were here when Columbine happened.  That high school is not far from our home.  My husband is also an auctioneer and he did an auction for the victims after that shooting.  We ended up listing and selling a home just down the block from one of the Columbine shooters homes.  It was a terrible, gut wrenching time.

Now it has happened again.  A little further away in distance, but still too close.  Any school shooting would be too close.  What can we do to stop this?  Is there any way to keep the nut cases away from our schools?

We don't have any answers.  We only have questions ... and sorrow.
