It?s so important for students and families. No mom or dad wants to lay awake at night and wonder whether their child is safe at school.

It was students coming to us and saying this is something we care about.

Hopefully, (Wednesday) is a stepping stone. We can't make it a one-night wonder.

They were two of the most pleasant students you ever wanted to meet. When they said last night that Damion Campbell from Forest Park had been killed, I just started screaming. I just broke down. ... I don't know how many times it has ever happened that two kids from the same high school, from the same Junior ROTC program, two young people who both wanted so much to honor their country have been lost.

Students like this, coming Sunday night, no, I have never heard of that. That's unique.

Sometimes you come home at night and wonder if you've done a good job.
