How absolutely horrifying, i cant even imagine something like that happening so close to home.  Those poor people and their families, my heart goes out to each of them.  It just goes to show you that anything can happen at anytime, whether you are healthy or not, we all got to just embrace life for what it is and life it to its fullest.   If i were to go tomorrow i would want everyone to know how much i love them.  Just like you all, I LOVE YOU ALL...  :grouphug;

My sister just drove 3 days to move to Wisconsin. She's lived in California all her life so this is a big deal. The day after she arrives I heard on the news "Multiple gunshot deaths reported in Wisconsin, no other details available." I didn't want to freak out and call my sister --  thank God for the internet where you can find instant information. My sis is fine, but  I am so heartbroken for the families of all those that were killed, and for the parents of the gunman. It's just tragic.

Okarol where did your sister move too. Cranden where the shooting took place is about 4 hours north of Milwaukee and an hour or so north of Green Bay it is the only incorporated town in that county (Forest County) the town's population is about 2000 people with the attendance at the High School of about 300 kids. There is a lot of woods and lakes and no malls or major shopping centers. In fact you would have drive back to Green Bay to find a Target. it's sad that even in little town's this can happen....Boxman

My sister in law grew up in Cranden, and now she and my brother live 35 mins away (26.6 miles).... so it really hits home for her... and yah, this goes to show you, you can't even have the feeling of being safe in a small town.... what has our world come to.
