UNSPEAKABLE: Eight-year-old Michael Meagher was shot and killed by his stepfather at a Wisconsin home. The man told police he was showing the child his gun “because it made him look cool.” He then said he removed the magazine, pointed the gun at the child, and pulled the trigger. “Michael brought amazing energy to life at Brook Park Elementary, where he was known for his incredible kindness and was beloved by all,” his school district wrote in a statement. https://etwn.us/40COxei

This week’s horrific shooting that critically wounded two kindergarteners was at least the 202nd shooting at a school this year, according to @Newsweek. A future where our kids can go to school free from the threat of gun violence is worth fighting for.
