It Doesn't Have To Be This Way.

From the NY Times:

There have been about 70 shootings at K-12 schools in Georgia between early 1970 and June 2022, according to data compiled by the Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security. But none were as deadly as Wednesday’s attack at Apalachee High School in Winder, Ga., which killed four and injured nine others.

The United States is essentially the only country with such lax gun controls and with such high levels of gun violence. We can choose to live our lives differently.
