Jailah Silguero did not want to go to school on Wednesday, May 24. This was unusual, her parents later said. Jailah loved school. Despite her reluctance, Jailah was dropped off at school by her mother that morning. She never came home. Just 10 years old, Jailah was killed in her classroom by an 18-year-old murderer wielding an assault rifle.
Powerful. I hear the gun safety drumbeat sounding. Like a pulse saying “stop the violence.”
