Amish community mourns deaths, reaches out to shooter’s family

“In just about any other community, a deadly school shooting would have brought demands from civic leaders for tighter gun laws and better security, and the victims’ loved ones would have lashed out at the gunman’s family or threatened to sue. But that’s not the Amish way.[..A]n Amish neighbor comforted the Roberts family hours after the shooting and extended forgiveness to them.” If only we could all be so understanding.
