A near-miss in a school shooting in Georgia is not a "blessed" event

"It's a blessed day, all of our children are safe," Dekalb County, Georgia School Superintendent Michael Thurmond said at a news conference after no children were injured or killed despite a 19 year-old shooter with an AK-47 firing rounds in one of his elementary schools. "This was a highly professional response on the ground by DeKalb County employees assisted by law enforcement."Thurmond's second quote is spot-on. His first is not.I mean absolutely no disrespect to Thurmond, who was probably just making an understandable and relieved pronouncement about a decent outcome that could have been a massacre. But no day is "blessed" that includes a teenager making it into an elementary school with an assault rifle.Instead it means, as usual, none of us are really safe- just lucky. This time. The question is what, if anything, we'll do about it.
