I am really sorry that you, Jura and your classmates have to think about gunshots in your classrooms. Back in the Dark Age 1950s, we were hiding under our desks to protect ourselves from Atom Bombs — which we didn’t think would ever work, but which, in any case, was less likely than what you and your classmates are forced to confront. Stay safe.
