Don’t ignore reality of gun violence

Really? Have we become so hardened to it that a local “award-winning” newspaper puts a small, 100-word story of yet another school shooting in the “Briefly” section on Page 2A? A 15-year-old-student in Kentucky opened fire in a high school, leaving two dead and 12 injured. But look hard and read quickly. It happened yesterday and will be forgotten tomorrow. I once read a tweet that said it best — “sad.”
