Today at about 3:15 Denver time, a 35 yr old man walked onto the campus at Deer Creek Middle School about a mile south of my house and shot two students. A math teacher saw that he had a chance and tackled the gunman saving many others. A boy and a girl were shot. The girl was treated and released. The boy, a Second Class Scout in one of my troops, is in critical condition but is expected to survive.
Matt, the girl, their families, and their classmates need all the prayers they can get.
This is from the Senior Patrol Leader, as it should be. The Troop is making a huge get well card for Matt at their meeting tomorrow night. Since he is in intensive care, the boys are not allowed to visit as yet. They are getting regular updates from the family and when they can visit, the hospital should plan for an invasion of Scouts.
