I am transported back to the day when my beautiful butterfly, Dylan, was killed nine years ago in his first-grade classroom atWhen the shootings are over, I wait to hear the names of the dead and injured.
Nicole and her son Dylan, who was murdered at age 6 in the Sandy Hook school shooting. With every new mass shooting, she thinks of the other victims' families joining a club they, like she, never wanted to be part of.Since Dylan was murdered, I have studied school shootings, mass shootings, and suicides.
