Although, Old School, I understand your desire to give people a chance, a warning, in my opinion, would be inapropriate given the safety concern and considering that the perpetrator was an adult.

In regards to the wife requesting to meet with the official. Whoever fielded this request should have immediately told her---NO.

How about a meeting with the parents of the FT shooter?

You betcha...as long as the wife was willing to apologize for her husband's actions. However, as Old school mentioned, legal action may be forthcoming and meeting with the FT shooter's parents (plaintiff's star witness) before jury selction could be viewed by the court as tampering.
