The following letter is from my sister-in-law who lives is Colorado. She
is
a EMT. Her children are the staggering ages between Kezzy and Danny. Her
daughter Sarah is graduating this year, then Kezzy next; then her son
Lauren
the next and in four years danny follows, one a year. Her kids have seen
to
much dealth through the same town they live in, just like my kids have
seen
first hand. I think Sheila has great insights into thing and felt that
her
point of veiw and the fact she accually asked for prayer, was reason
enough
to share her thoughts. please pray for the familys and the personal that
had
to do their jobs through the emergancy departments of that same town in
Colorado.. thank you sincerly,
Carrie

>The events in the highschool in Colorado this week didn't have a direct
>effect on us as they occured half a state away. However- it is really
>sobering to think that such a thing can happen even in Colorado. As an
EMS
>worker and a parent I feel particularly troubled by several aspects of
this
>situation.

>These kids were the same age as my kids!! Could kids really be planning
>something like this and the parents not have a clue? How can the poor
>families of the shooters even mourn when their kids did so much damage
to
>other families? I met a man at a conference who had a son at CU
(Boulder)
>who was in classes with one shooters brother- needless to say he isn't
there
>right now. The report was the brother is a very nice, bright student-
didn't
>show any signs of having serious family problems that would lead to this
>situation in his family. So Sad! Talked to Mom last night and she said
that
>one of the dead kids was the step son of a coworker of her friend
Loraine's
>son. The tentacles of tragedy are far reaching.

>On the other hand as an emergency worker I know that the rescuers and
police
>officers are going to go through h*** for several months. They will
>experience the same feelings as war vets- it's called post traumatic
stress
>syndrom and is very real. It is a fact that among these individuals
there
>will be increased domestic violence, divorce, illness and suicides.
Teams
of
>people trained to intervene are even now swooping down on the community
but
>unfortunatly not everyone will seek help or recognize the need. This
goes
so
>far beyond those directly touched by the tragedy. We have two annual
EMS
>conferences in the state each year- this occured on the opening day of
one
>conference and there were medics from that area who were calling home
hoping
>for good news about families and associates. The next conference is in
>October and I bet there will be aqa presentation on the shootings- I
hope I
>can tolerate it better by then.
>
>My kids seem to be taking it in stride. They are bombarded with the
scenes
>of people who look an afwul lot like them crying and mourning. I
haven't
>even watched much of the coverage because it upsets me too much.
>
>Anyway- remember the rescue workers in your thoughts and prayers as they
will
>be suffering tremendously- guaranteed.
