It was rough, luckily when we got to staging we quickly found out that kids in her area were fine per rumor, but it was unofficial so I was still very stressed, but that hope helped. She seems unaware/unaffected currently. Thinks it was a field trip, so she seems to have been pretty well shielded from it

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I know it doesn't mean much, but it's all we've got.

Thanks for checking in and putting a human face on these events. They're too often blending together, and they really, really need to not.
