Just got off the phone with my son. He said the prayer service at the church tonight was full when he got there. So around a hundred students formed groups of 10 or so on the lawn across the street to pray.
Dorm floor prayers at 10 tonight.
Everywhere you go there are prayer partners scattered around the campus - he said he didn’t know how they could get that many people together and things organized - three hours after it happened!
He and his buds were shaking their head at the mayor when one of the first things he said at the press conference was something about gun control. They were all pissed that this liberal is turning their grief into a political thing.
I was telling him how glad that he is at a school that turns to God and in a time like this. He agreed. But he and everyone is in shock, and not sure what is going to happen (turning in papers with classes cancelled, finals, etc.)
“But - I guess we’ll get through it.”

Here is a photo of the kids that couldn’t get into the prayer service at the church do to too many people.
Except that dang photo is blurry.
The SPU President said that they were going to have grief counselors in many places (IIRC in the dorms and in a main hall).
Bless the victims, families and all the SPU and their families.
Our God will kick their sorry allah’s butt.
Big time.
As I think I said up thread - I heard the DIM Mayor’s brief remarks at the presser and that ticked me off, too. What a time to do his progressive politicizing about guns - jerk!
