Defensive line coach Todd Wash got emotional Wednesday when asked about Tuesday's shooting at Oxford High School in Oakland County that killed four students and injured seven others.
Wash was recruiting in Colorado during the events at Columbine High School in 1999, when two students killed 13 people and injured another 21 before taking their own lives.
Tuesday's tragedy in Oxford hit home for him.
"I've got a son that has to go to school every day," Wash said, with a tremble in his voice. "So, it's scary. Our thoughts and prayers are with (the community of Oxford). It hits just because we all have children, and when they go to school they should be safe, and that's not the case, so that hits a little bit."
Head coach Dan Campbell opened his Wednesday press conference offering condolences to those affected.
"Our heart goes out to the Oxford community," he said. "That's awful. Nobody should have to deal with that. Just prayers go out to the families and the friends and everybody involved. That goes for myself and the players and the whole Lions community. It's awful."
