A couple of hours after the last child left, a knock came on his door. It was a frantic mother who had heard that some children had taken refuge there. She was looking for her little boy.

‘‘Her face looked frozen in terror,’’ Rosen said, breaking down in tears.

‘‘She thought maybe a miracle from God would have the child at my house,’’ he said. Later, ‘‘I looked at the casualty list ... and his name was on it.’’

this has been the first mass shooting that has really hit me emotionally. Aurora, Wisconsin, older ones like VA Tech or Columbine, never really connected with me. but these are just kids, the same age as my niece. the horrors that the survivors witnessed and the immeasurable pain that the parents of the slain are feeling is just unfathomable. suck a ####ing waste
