"We know that school violence can occur anywhere, from a suburban school in Colorado, to a rural school in Central Minnesota. Thus, school violence is everyone's problem. And, we owe it to our children to work together to find out why such acts take place and what we can do to stop them. Only then will we create a safer and more nurturing education environment for our young people."
Excerpt from the opening letter from Thomas B. Heffelfinger, U.S. Attorney, District of Minnesota
