Grief-stricken families in southwestern Texas gathered in churches throughout Santa Fe on Sunday seeking spiritual succour following a massacre at the town’s high school, the nation’s latest mass shooting. Texas Governor Greg Abbott attended a service at the Arcadia First Baptist Church just down the road from Santa Fe High School, where students and residents have placed flowers, messages and stuffed animals in honor of those who died there. “We’re here to support you,” Abbott told members of the congregation in exchanges before the service. It’s important that after a tragic event like this we just come together and worship,” said Santa Fe 10th grader Joshua Stevens, 15. “It’s time like this when all of us realize how fragile our lives really are.”(AFP)(Visited 1,169 times, 99 visits today)
