In 2006, in the Amish community of Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, Charles Carl Roberts IV entered a small, one-room Amish schoolhouse and shot ten girls, ranging in age from six to thirteen, killing five of them, before turning the gun on himself. While there were many school shootings before and since (this shooting was the third in the United States in less than a week), what made this tragedy stand out was the reaction of those in the Amish community.
