By Daniel Esparza and Tony Assaf, Aleteia - Dear readers, brothers in Christ, we ask you to join us in prayer in these moments. Recent reports claim perhaps as many as 17 people were killed in today’s shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida... But this is not this year’s first shooting. In fact, according the Guardian (as well as other media outlets) this is the eighth. We report that Wednesday’s attack quadrupled the death toll for 2018.
