then headed towards the school. once he got here, obviously a lot of emotions going through him. him wanting to not only get to his wife but his daughter and help the other kids out. he devised a plan with some of the other law enforcement out here. and while they were working on, the situation involving that one particular fourth grade classroom, these other law enforcement going from, you know, school classroom to school classroom getting those kids out. getting them to safety as their parents, you know, emotionally waiting by. and that's just one story, lawrence. we are out here as you probably witnessed when you were out here, people are showing up, giving food to the first responders, giving food people out here. i think one of the things that really sort of sticks in the back of my mind when you drive through the town. a town of 16,000 people. always that town square, especially in texas. you know what i'm talking about, lawrence. a group of people out there. 21 crosses for all of the victims out there. and there is always a group of people, no matter the time of the day, how hot it is. either holding hands praying, standing there, thinking about
