It is devastating to hear of another shooting. Our hearts go out to the young man, his family, and the Stewartville community as they navigate the aftermath of this tragedy. We are keeping them in our thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

We are also deeply grateful to law enforcement, first responders, teachers, coaches, classmates, and everyone who acted quickly to provide medical care and ensure he was safely transported to the hospital, where skilled doctors and nurses provided emergency treatment.
