Thats such a horrible story and quite the childhood trauma to carry all these years, so sorry to hear that.
Started there in 1971. Horrible day sitting in the library when everyone was screaming and crying. That was the day our teacher was shot to death in front of all those kids. I remember so clear
went there for five years, Mr Baptise was my last teacher. Who has all those class pictures?
