A shot in the dark

Location

He shot aimlessly.
Not caring where the bullet landed
Or if it had any purpose at all;
Only wanting others to hurt as he hurt.
And so he forced a nation to pray.
 
Pray we did.
We hoped to somehow relieve parent's grief.
To bring back children and teachers.
For some solution to fill those empty days.
To end the injustice of it all.
