Shooting

There was a shooting in a Toronto school. One kid died.

Toronto Police tell AM 640 Toronto Radio, a young man was found suffering from gunshot wounds near the pool at the school. He was taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds.

Students at the school identified the victim as 15 year old Jordan Manners.

I realize that the majority of the people who read this are over the age of 25 or 30… but I’m assuming you know a 15 year old. …What’s so weird to me is that I think back to the grade 9 class I taught, they would all be 15 or 16 now… and it just tears me apart to think that kid just like them was shot.

Now, I know… I was the one who was like “put it into perspective to the shootings across seas!” when everyone was making a stink about the shooting earlier this year. But it’s just so scary … when I see the picture of the cops I picture Clarkson’s school cop, around the Clarkson pool… looking down at one of the kids I taught. It’s just scary.
