The horrible task of counting began before noon. How many children and staff members had gone into Covenant School on Monday morning, and how many had come out alive after the gunshots?

Frantic administrators and teachers, tearful parents, and first responders hurried to get that count finished. Parents were routed to nearby Woodmont Baptist Church waiting, hopefully, to be reunited with their children. And they waited. In fear. In shock. In anger. They waited for more understanding in a situation where none would be forthcoming. The morning was filled with the sound of sirens.
