The city school district is offering counseling to classmates. 

Local groups like the V.O.I.C.E Project are providing support as well, trying to come up with strategies to protect children.

"They'll be the next leaders, they'll be the next mayor, the next teachers, the next clergy, the next educators," said Colette Matthews-Carter, said local pastor and V.O.I.C.E member.
