Friends, neighbors, fellow Oak Ridgers,
Today, our hearts are so extremely heavy from the mass shooting. This city may be small, but community bonds run DEEP! We mourn with the Scarboro Community, a place where community isn't just a word, it's a way of life.
The recent tragedy has shaken everyone, leaving scars that may never fully heal. There’s at least 6+ wounded by the mass shooting by gunshot. We send our deepest condolences and unwavering support to you! We also send prayer to you and your loved ones who also are now facing unimaginable pain.. Please reach out and stay strong 💪🏾 🙏🏾 💔
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel, but we must channel our grief into action. Youth gun violence is a crisis that demands our immediate attention. We need open and honest conversations, increased access to mental health support, and responsible event planning that protect our children and communities!
If there’s any Oak Ridge schools or community organizations, especially local residents/home owners of the community want to collab to help promote positive relationships, conflict resolution, and mentorship let’s do it. Let’s collab to create a safer environment for our community.
Let’s create a future where no community has to endure such devastation.
