So we're doing active shooter training in our school today and they played a 5 min 911 call from columbine. I couldn't listen. I plugged my ears. Years streamed down my face, my nose is running. There are 1000 ppl here and I am the only one this is happening to. Ppl keep asking me if I'm ok and patting me on the shoulder.
And all I can think is, I can't have any more situations in my life.

I think it sounds very scary to have to deal with that. Yikes. Good luck on the rest of the day.

It bothers me anytime I hear about these shootings. There is a song written about the columbine shooting, one of the girls, everytime I listen to it, the song gets to me.

I moved away from the Denver area about 6 months before Columbine. I knew the area it happened in... had been near it many times.
I still get choked up when it's mentioned.
And all school shooting effect me now, especially since I work in a school.

I SOO appreciate everyone's thoughts.
I do not understand why I was the only one who reacted this way.. I'm sorry to hear others here have had this experience but I'm glad I'm not alone!
