1. The Jeremiah Burke is holding graduation this evening.

That's the school where the young man was shot and killed.

2. Do you have a link to that story?

I try to keep abreast of what is occurring throughout the country, but I don't recall the details. Thanks!

3. Here--so sad. He was not the target of the shooter, most do not think.

He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was a stay at home kind of kid.

The mayor was the commencement speaker--planned because the school is doing so well re: test scores, etc.

Very sad for the entire student body. The shooting happened during a fire drill. Some wonder if it wasn't a planned diversion--no one is saying too much, though.
