Ever Since the School Shooting in Connecticut

My winter break already started but my brother still have this last week. My brother is in middle school and the shooting that happened, happened at an elementary school. My mother just received an e-mail that here will be police roaming around schools in the area. When I went to middle school, they always had police officers around my school just to guide traffic. Now that I'm in high school, we always have police officers because of the constant fighting every day. We always get a small visit from the firetruck and ambulance. My friend is constantly in love with the firemen because of how cute they were. I really don't pay attention to that; my attention would be on the ambulance and paramedics. I don't care if they're cute, I just love ambulances. The pure white, the big red cross, the gurney parked inside-- I'm sorry I'm getting off track. So, now we're going to have police cars roaming around the area of schools. My brother's school is pretty close to where we live and it takes just about 5 minutes to drive him there. My mother worries deathly about us whenever we are at school. Me, because I'm a total klutz and there are fights always going on, and my brother is a special ed. So, after the shooting, she's watching carefully now. I'm sure all the moms and dads out there who saw the shooting are watching your children more carefully now. It's a parents' worst nightmare to hear that their child was in a school shooting or at least an accident. I've never been in a school shooting but back in middle school, we had a lock down, because there was a bear on base. But, the ones that happen constantly are the fire drills. Most of the ones at my school are real ones but they're aren't big fires. They're these little ones that trigger the fire alarms and send firetrucks speeding through the empty road. It's a little ridiculous, to me, but if there's a fire, they have to come. I think the police officers, however, are getting payed a lot where we are because of the constant fighting in my school. I'm scared that one day it'll turn into a school shooting. This kid brought a knife to school once, and was arrested, when he threatened to stab a kid and ended up getting into a big fight with them. So, I'm gonna pray that there won't be a school shooting at mine or any schools, such as my brother's. God Bless you all. Sorry Newtown, Connecticut for the horrific tragedy that happened to you all.
