“But there’s bad guys, dad,” Brandon, who is in preschool, replies. “They have guns, they can shoot us because they are really mean, Daddy.”

“There’s bad guys everywhere,” Angel explains. “It’s okay, they might have guns but we have flowers.”

As previously reported, 129 people were killed following a series of attacks in Paris on Nov. 13. Mourners have since been placing flowers and candles at the Place de la Republique.
