Shame, just sad...rip

Now CNN is reporting multiple people dead. I pray that report is inaccurate.

The courant just tweeted that a little while ago too

27 dead, including 18 children. What a tragedy. My prayers go out to the kids and their family. I hope and this doesn’t personally touch anyone on the board.

Link to Newton paper.
Link to Courant.

Report: 27 dead. This nightmere keeps getting worse. Shooter or shooters were adult (s). This may be the worse tragedy in Connecticut since the circus fire in Hartford. I can't understand how anyone, no matter how deranged could kill a child. This is just horrible.

 

[superjohn]

I feel numb. If any of these reports are true this is turning into one of the worst national tragedies. Everyone say a prayer.

Early reports are it was a parent of a student who was disgruntled about the way their child was being treated.


Sick duck.

 

[Huskymaniac]

Uh oh, this is starting to look like a Columbine bullying type scenario.

Jeezus...Jerry Brooks' (NBC 30) voice is audibly shaking. I can't wrap my head around this!!!!

my cousin goes to the school, he is apparently at home ok.

 

[ZenConn]

this is absolutely horrible (and lets not turn this thread into a gun control argument).

my prayers and my heart goes to the ones affected by this horrible act.

Glad to hear your cousin is safe. This is beyond tragic.

Time for police presence and metal detectors in every school. My daughter is in Kindergarten so this news has hit me real hard. My heart goes out to the families.

Well thank god for that. I'll say a prayer for him as well. Tough thing for a little kid to have to make sense of. I know that I can't.

 

[Huskies4ever]

At the time, 27 dead, 18 children, mostly kindergarteners. I've been crying for awhile now. The worst school shooting in US history, and the worst shooting in CT history in 200 years. I wonder what that was?

We did so much for JC with our fundraising. What can we do for the many victims of this horrifing tragedy?

You will need armed police outside the schools as the buses are loaded because a shooter could do as much damage out there.

 

[gibhunter]

True, but police presence would be a deterrent. Each town has a police force, why not send two to each school?

President Obama will be speaking from the White House at 3:15.

A police presence would prevent some, minimize some, and do nothing for some. If you had school aged kids, I would hope you'd favor the first two.

Before the murderer went to the school, BBC is reporting the murderer first killed his father elsewhere and then killed his mother in her kindergarten class, 8 other adults, and 18 students.

Why is the press interviewing children?

Leave them the fukk alone!
