But I was really moved by the story of Victoria Soto. I didn't expect to read anything like that. It wasn't a situation of "right place, right time" or dumb luck. That woman in an instant saved children's lives while losing her own.

That's what I will remember
It was sort of wrong place wrong time too.
All teachers/staff were protecting and shielding students. The shooter was only in the lobby and the first couple of classrooms. So if you (teacher or students) were in the back, you were safe.

Fortunately a lot of the kids were in the gym at the back of the school so they were safe.

And yeah.. those birthdays are startling.
