Dimitrios Pagourtzis a 17 year old student at at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe., Texas entered the school and committed mass murder. Two other students have been detained for questioning. He used a shotgun and a .38 caliber revolver he took from his father. There is no evidence that the father was aware of this. Pagourtzis surrendered to police. He has been charged with murder already and is under no bond.
IED's have been found in the school and around it. Finding these has prevented more injuries and death. 10 people were killed and a little over 10 have been injured in the shootings. The numbers may change since this is an ongoing situation.
Positive thoughts and prayers are all that can be done at the moment. Check with your church to see if anything is planned that you can help with.
When the initial situation is over, its time to get busy. Parents talk to your children daily. It's time to get into what your child is doing and thinking. Remember that you are not their friend or social director. You are the parent, so take charge!
As a country, it is time to get busy. Anybody that receives money from the NRA should not be allowed to vote on any issues on gun control. The NRA needs to remember that a living organization is one that grows with changes. Don't give up your guns. Restrict severely guns that belong in a war zone
