    Beautiful poem. I didn't know all the children killed were first graders between 6 and 7. I always called first grade boot camp for elementary school. Among the most prescious ages. Curse their killer. Damn him to Hell (though I'm an atheist}, Suicide. Vicious and cowardly at once. Those poor babies and their parents. I lost a nephew in childhood. Parents never get over it. Never.
