OT: Shooting at Sandy Hook (Newtown) elementery school

[NOTaDIME]

Unfathomable tragedy. It really puts all of this bantering we do in perspective when you hear things like this. Prayers are sent.

My fiance teaches at an elementary school 20 minutes away...I'm so very thankful that she's coming home today. I can't begin to say how sorry I am to those whose loved ones won't, especially the families of the 20 children.

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

Great to hear....my prayers go to him and his friends and family that need to deal with this now....just plain awful, beyond comprehension!!

That link must have changed. It was previously a video of Ryan Lanza when he was still (incorrectly) named as the shooter.

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?

I was thinking the same thing. I doubt money will help, but if there was something we could physically do I'm sure many of us would help. I'm just not sure what there is to do in situation like this other than pray.

The video I posted was of Ryan Lanza. I probably shouldn't have posted it so hastily but every news outlet was reporting that Ryan Lanza was the killer. I feel terrible for this Ryan Lanza guy, at first everyone thought he was one of our nation's worst ever killers, turns out it wasn't him but he has to find out his own brother murdered his mother, 20 children and 6 educators. He needs our thoughts and prayers right now.

I wish there was something I could do as well to ease the pain of those of you so close to this crazy human disaster. To say I am saddened by this event would rob it of meaning because there are no words to define the sense of tragedy at losing so many cute and gorgeous little people in such a way.

No one should have to endure this - and I mean it in the broadest possible terms. Our hearts are with you.

Thanks Senore.
