    The news of yet another tragic school shooting has affected us all. We think of the lives lost and the people touched by this violence and grief. We face unanswered questions: Why did this happen? Could this have been prevented? Can this happen here?

    University of Minnesota Extension offers these resources to provide insights and strategies for working with teachers, students, community groups, and families as they react to the most recent shooting tragedy.
