Thank you for the clarification on the weapon and the comment. I appreciate you taking time to read the post. I disagree with you that the why is “mostly irrelevant.” I think that why we make the choices we do does matter and how people treat each other matters.

Thanks again for the comment. Shavuah tov,
Amy

The “why” of today’s event is mostly irrelevant. It ultimately falls to each person to protect themselves and to observe those around them. There are almost always warning signs preceding such a tragedy.
