A Colorado father texted his son after he saw several fire trucks and police cars infront of his son's high school, fearing something had gone wrong with his diabetes. A normal conversation between a caring father and son. At around 12:30 on friday, an 18 year old with a gun walked into the high school and first shot a girl in the hallway. He ignited firebombs in the library before killing himself in the back hallway of the school. The father that heard the sirens was unaware that any of this was going on, but he did know something was wrong and began driving towards the school. Keep in mind, Colorado is the same place as the infamous Columbine shooting of 1999. Throughout the shooting the father and son we're in touch with each other via text. Many other students were keeping in touch with their families during the shooting. One boy wrote a note on his hand in case he didn't make it out alive.
This is a heartwarming story even though it happened in a bad situation. It is good to know that there are so many strong relationships still existing.
