@RochelleLabelle The look on my face when I get butterflies in my stomach before I share my work. What a sweet memory. Thanks, @RochelleLabelle.

This book. All the feels. This is why the novel is alive and well. Because of these kinds of stories. https://t.co/ybev0uzBrJ

The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots.

Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Our grief isn't enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Las Vegas, we are grieving with you—the victims, those who lost loved ones, the responders, & all affected by this cold-blooded massacre.

Words fail this morning. The friendship & support of Canadians is with the victims in Las Vegas & the people of the US.

@CBCAdrianH No officers but we did have 3 security guards. They knew us better than the teachers did. They disciplined, mentored and spoke as equals.
