The first ever school shooting in Australia – and it was in Perth. My home.
I believe every single person in Perth was frozen to their TV yesterday – staring in horror at the news reports of a school shooting. Our first ever in Australia. The fact that it was in our home of Perth was especially gut wrenching. Praise God, no one was hurt. The 15-year-old boy with 2…
