Kaley Lawrimore // Editor-in-Chief

Our Staff America is once again reeling over another massacre. At least 59 lives taken, during what was supposed to be one of the best nights of their lives. People who were just out, enjoying music and having a good time. Gone. Kaley Lawrimore I have seen my fair share of terrible things in the three years I’ve been in news. I’ve gone Editor-in-Chief to scenes where there are bodies on the ground. I’ve seen families lose everything in fires. I’ve seen devastation. I’ve talked to those heartbroken. But nothing prepared me for this. Yaicha Ocampo My friend texted me Sunday night as I was lying in bed watching Netflix, “Do you know Assitant Editor anything about this mass shooting?” Alexa Stress “No.” I ran downstairs and turned on ABC News. They had broken into programming for this, Art Director so I knew it had to be much worse than the reports I was seeing on Twitter. Jason Renne I stayed up until 3 a.m., live-tweeting and listening to the Las Vegas police scanner feed Business Manager while watching the wall-to-wall coverage from media outlets. I heard the fear in those officers’ voices. The calls of “shots fired.” The panic. The chaos. The barrage of gunfire is the soundtrack in my mind that’s on repeat now. I keep hearing Reporters “pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.” Ian Brooking I know there are terrible people in the world. I know there are people who are mentally sick. I know there are people who are just evil. I know there are people who have no regard Barijana Caldas to human life, not even their own. Morgen Cvetko I’m not going to sit here and preach about how we need stricter gun laws, because honestly that wouldn’t have prevented this. I’m not going to say we need to ban people Katelin Gandee from entering this country, because that wouldn’t stop the massacres either. Tyler Gross Three things can help prevent these types of events from happening over and over again. Corryn Patterson Love, respect and kindness. “Love thy neighbor as yourself.” Mark 12:31 O’Tia Prioleau Respect those who have different opinions than you. Not everyone is going to agree with Nicole Rabbitt you all the time and just because they don’t, do not make their opinions any less important or valuable. Be kind. Treat those how you wish to be treated. Photographers “It’s not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and Ian Brooking who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motive, even - or Katelin Gandee rather, especially - when we’d prefer not to be.” – Josh Radnor Ethan Gardner
