Summary
Then we excitedly added her silly hat, cat sunglasses and pipe cleaners to the pile, for the rest of the week’s celebrations.But Wednesday morning, just hours after 19 children were killed at their elementary school in Uvalde, Tex., my thoughts turned morbid: In the event of a shooting, would her bright outfit make her more of a target?This is the sick calculation I must now make for my 6-year-old. What can we do but take whatever small, seemingly trivial precautions we can to keep our children safe?Rationally, I know that my daughter’s chances of dying by gunfire in school is 1 in 10 million.
