Well this may be Valentines Day but it is certainly not a joyous day for some. Today marks the fourth school shooting in a week in the US.

1. Today (2/14) 6 people (including the killer) died and 16 others were wounded in a classroom shooting at Northern Illinois University.

2. Feb. 8 a woman shot two to death before killing herself at Louisiana Technical College

3. Feb. 11, in Memphis, Tenn. a 17 year old shoot and injured a fellow student during gym class.

4. A 15 year old has been declared brain dead after being shot at his school in Oxnard, Calif.

Many of us here are either in Middle School, High School, or college. With all the violence that is happening in our schools recently, and not just the past week but the past few years, how safe do you feel in school? Do you believe that extra measure should be put into place to keep our schools and universities safe from violence? Because it has become apparent that NO school or university is safe from violence.
