when i heard there was a shooting At Westroads Mall at school I never would have thought it would have been like this, and just to think that less then one day ago i was there shopping at von maur. I t was the talk of Elkhorn NE middle school that day, about a devistating insadent that occured there. When friends that found out and knew a parent that worked there they were devistated with fear. Just as i wached GMA this morning and other world news I thought to myself ” i thought i would never see something like this occur in omaha” At times i almost started to cry as i thought “what has happend to this world”? I think it helped open some peoples eyes and made them realize that anyone can go at any time.
