It was really moving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-457515 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:39:54 +0000 mrsjazz 457515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I was a sophomore in high school when Colin Ferguson went on a shooting rampage on the LIRR (Long Island Railroad). He killed 6 people and wounded 19. That was huge. </p> <p>Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy, who has been on the news a lot in the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting because she's big on gun control, lost her husband in the LIRR shooting and her son was one of the wounded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-457508 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:34:21 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 457508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only Columbine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-457503 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:31:28 +0000 mrbee 457503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember them all, but none of them really bothered me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-457484 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:23:49 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 457484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember Regan being shot when I was little, but all the mass shootings happened while I was older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-457477 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:21:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 457477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Columbine for sure - I was only 10 at the time. I remember later reading the book called "She Said Yes" that was a collection of journal entries depicting the life of one of the students who was shot for saying she believed in Jesus. It was fascinating, I cried throughout the entire book. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-457474 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 22:19:13 +0000 ladyfingers 457474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not until Columbine when I was in high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-456990 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 20:54:18 +0000 prettylizy 456990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in the 9th grade when Columbine happened, but I don't remember much about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-456983 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 20:52:34 +0000 loveisstrange 456983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember Columbine pretty vividly. I was 11 when it happened. That's the only one I remember from when I was a kid. I was in college when Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-456572 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 18:51:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 456572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have very vague recollections of the Luby's shooting in Killeen, TX...probably because we were only a few hours away in San Antonio. I have a much clearer recollection of Jonesboro and Columbine. Those were when I started to understand what had happened...well as much as you can understand something like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-456557 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 18:47:18 +0000 JamieLee 456557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also in school when Columbine happened, 9th grade I think, and I was terrified. </p> <p>I heard about more localized violence though, growing up in a suburb of Detroit, and that really scared me as well. </p> <p>But the most vivid memory I have of being scared of violence was actually from an episode of Family Matters in the early to mid 90s when Laura's friend was shot for her tennis shoes. I can still remember the terror I felt after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-456533 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 18:36:07 +0000 MaisyMay 456533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in middle school during Columbine. That stands out. Other than that, I don't really remember any, but I also grew up in a fairly isolated area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-any-mass-shootings-from-your-childhood#post-456524 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 18:30:16 +0000 Ra 456524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was also in middle school when Columbine happened.

Some crazy guy killed 20 something people that day in the San Diego area. I was only 5 at the time and I still remember it vividly. :-(</p> <p>I want to keep LO away from all the scary news stories today... </p>
