I can't believe it finally happened.
A shooting at one of our schools - afterall we have lots of shoots fired around the city - but the school is suppose to be the safe zone.
NOT ANYMORE!!!
I spoke to one of my neighbours this morning and I heard a story that made me sick to my stomach - some teens were told and then THEY LAUGHED!!!
I just wanted to loose it.
Here is a sampeling of one of many news stories.

Deadly School Shooting
In a grim first for Toronto, a boy is gunned down inside his school
Inside, students were locked in their classrooms for hours, some weeping, as police roamed the halls with guns and sledgehammers, searching for a killer.
Outside C.W. Jefferys Collegiate, parents were clamouring for information about their children's safety after learning a classmate had been shot inside.
Jordan Manners, 15, was hit in the chest around 2:30 p.m. yesterday. The Grade 9 student was rushed to Sunnybrook hospital, where he later died.
In the aftermath of the fatal shooting inside the Toronto high school – believed to be the first in the city – the Toronto District School Board has cancelled classes today but will keep the school open with grief counsellors available for students and staff.
Mayor David Miller said it's time to "redouble our efforts" to cut down on guns in the city.
"I have met with so many mothers who have lost their sons to violence," he said. "It's impossible to console a mother in those circumstances."
