We all remained quietly confused until the superintendent came on the loudspeaker and clarified what was happening.

The reality hit quickly and swiftly following the announcement in a way severely different than elsewhere in the country.

Growing up about 60 miles outside New York City in a small New Jersey town, it was inevitable that the loss of certain victims would hit directly home. It did, profoundly.
