In Newtown, Conn., today there will be five more funerals.
We have not yet even come close to realizing the full toll taken on the nation when a madman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School and opened fire with a semiautomatic weapon.
We’ll be talking about both those things tonight on a very special edition of ‘Live From the Newsroom’ as we tackle the twin issues of school security and gun violence.
We’ll be joined by Lawrence O’Shea, the head of the Delaware County Intermediate Unit. One aspect of what the IU does is oversee school security. It’s something every parent has been thinking about since last Friday. And it’s on our minds as we clutch our children just a little tighter before they climb onto those school buses in the morning.
We’ll also be joined by Shira Goodman, the new executive director of CeaseFire Pa, an organization seeking to increase limits on guns in the state.
I have some questions I will be asking them, but what I really would like to do is ask them YOUR questions. Do you have a specific school security question you’d like to see addressed? Do you have a thought (pro or con) on the gun control debate you’d like to see CeaseFire Pa address?
Email me your questions at editor@delcotimes.com and I will put them to our panel.
Then join us tonight at 7 on DelcoTimes.com. Make sure you log on and join our live chat.
It’s time for this country to talk about guns and school security. That’s what we’ll be doing tonight. Why not join us?
