This happened 5 minutes from my office. I went through the traffic Monday leaving work and saw the cars, had no idea what had actually happened until hearing it on the radio on the way to work Tuesday and just got incredibly sad. Rough arse part of town

God bless those kids.

My wife used to work at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital when we lived in Memphis. They'd honestly see a lot of tragic, horrific things like that. That was an incredible ER with a very tough staff. Not sure I could ever work in an environment like that.
