"Violence Comes to Class"

In the face of the shootings at Virginia Tech, I found this post by Sr. Edith, a college professor, who writes over at Monastic Musings:

"After the shootings at Virginia Tech, I am probably not the only faculty member thinking, "Could that happen here? Could someone show up in my class with a gun in statistics class this afternoon, ending my life and those of my students?" The sad truth is that it could happen in just about any classroom on any college campus in America."

She raises a great question:

"Rather than ask what pushes one person so far over the edge that a massacre seems the best, or only, way to deal with the extreme emotions, I wonder what situations push so many people close to the edge - and how we might change that."
