SUPPORT THIS INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM
The article you’re about to read is from our reporters doing their important work — investigating, researching, and writing their stories. We want to provide informative and inspirational stories that connect you to the people, issues and opportunities within our community. Journalism requires lots of resources. Today, our business model has been interrupted by the pandemic; the vast majority of our advertisers’ businesses have been impacted. That’s why the DP Times is now turning to you for financial support. Learn more about our new Insider’s program here. Thank you.

Some went Saturday to buy groceries in Buffalo, NY
Some went Sunday to church service in Laguna Woods, CA
Some went Tuesday to elementary school in Uvalde, TX
Some shared a hug, a kiss, a wave goodbye
Some families forever changed by high velocity gunfire
Some family trees’ tender branches will never blossom
Some fear their peaceful town will be next
Some surrender to reality no one is safe
Some scream enough is enough
Some plead, pray for the shooting to stop in America
