āWho? Tell me, where are you? Who has a gun?ā
āI love you, Mum.ā
An ordinary school day in March, snowflakes falling, classroom freezing, kids squealing with delight, locker-doors slamming. Then the shooting started. No-one dared take one breath...
Heās holding a gun to your childās head. One wrong answer and he says heāll shoot.
This morning you waved goodbye to your child. What would you have said if youād known it might be the last time?
