Campbell County Mourning
Putting aside the rather disturbing comment someone left below, I'd imagine that these are tough times in Campbell County. Scott Barker has a good overview of the reaction in today's paper.
Thinking back not too terribly long ago to when I was in high school, I don't think I could imagine three of the school's leadership being shot, and one dying. In some ways, administrators take on an almost immortal feel in a lot of high schools. Students sometimes love them and sometimes hate them, but they have an air of immovable objects. They were there when you got there, and they'll be there when you go.
I'd be interested to see how the students' reaction differs in the death and injury of administrators in this fashion versus the same thing happening to other students. Regardless, this is a harsh mark to leave on the lives of people who are in a stage that means so much.
