Another Heartbreaking Disaster
The small town of Santa Fe, Texas is shattered by another school shooting. The 13,000 residents of this small town located 30 miles southeast of Houston can hardly believe that this was possible in their virtually crime-free haven.
“If it can happen in Santa Fe, Texas, it can happen anywhere,” the parent said. “I mean, it’s just unbelievable.”
