Comments:
Tim McNeill: Thank God for Debby Ely!! She has saved some great stuff for people to see.
Greg Baker: I remember it all too well! I had just started 3rd grade at Widsten elementary in Wayzata (now a condo complex). Anyone who knows that area of Wayzata knows that the shooter walked right past the front door of our school. I shudder to think how much worse a situation that could have been. Thank God for small favors!
