Kindergartners were shot. I happen to have a kindergartner living under my roof. He’s six years old. He loves ‘Star Wars,’ Lego, and comic book heroes. I can’t even imagine the terror that a six-year-old feels when an armed gunman is mowing down their classmates. These are kids that probably all still believe in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy. And now, reality, in its stark and naked pointlessness will have pierced the veil that shrouds all children. Tragedy is an understatement today.
