I don't know, sounds like two kindergarteners are in critical, one staff member dead. If that's true, who knows who they were gunning for.

I don’t like the feel of this. My heart aches for these parents, kids, the community.

I can answer questions anyone has about the area.

Likewise my friend. Glad you are ok too. Thanks for posting the articles.
I’m so torn up about this, as I’m sure the rest of Dane county is. (And the state/country as well tbh).
