Today one student was killed and three injured in a shooting at Freeman High School, just south of Spokane, according to the Spokesman-Review.

In response, StJohn‘s Cathedral will host a prayer vigil tonight for all those affected by the shooting.

The vigil will be from 7-8 p.m.

Details about the shooting are still emerging.

“Our hearts are broken by the events at Freeman High School this morning. This is a terrible day for the students, parents, teachers, administrators and the rest of that close-knit community.
