  • Ashley Glader was just 11 years old when her 16-year-old brother, John Tomlin, was killed in the mass shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton 25 years ago this week. FOX31's Jeremy Hubbard learns the family has since faced new heartbreaks, but they hold onto their faith to get through them.

    I was a junior when this happened, i was at home on lunch break from school and saw it on the news. It broke my heart.

      @roselynn816 Před měsícem

      @amberrollins7646 me too. I couldn't believe it was real. I thought it was a terrorist attack and that such a thing would never happen again, because we would have so much protection at every school in the nation. Seems like politicians protect themselves and leave our children vulnerable on purpose.

      @ashleyslack5960 Před měsícem

      Nothing has changed because parents are not forming their children anymore. They let schools groom their kids to think they are dogs, moms abandon their kids for careers and dads walk out. And we're surprised about school shootings happening?
