Just over two weeks ago, Mt. Horeb experienced an unsettling tragedy. On May 1, an eighth grader with a pellet gun attempted to break into Mt. Horeb Middle School, and he was then shot and killed by police.

Host Bianca Martin sat down with the reporter who broke the story, executive editor of Madison 365 Rob Chappell, to ask about how the community is faring in the wake of the shooting and what lessons community members are taking from the tragedy.
