Elementary school in Conneticut. 20 or so dead including the shooter who is a dad of a student (at least that is what they know now)

Horrific! Who are these effing idiots that would hurt kids like this? Better

start loading up on ammo and buying your guns, especially assault weapons for you gun enthusiasts, while you can. Remember, guns kill people.

Why? He saved society the cost of a trial and incarceration. And he's getting a lot worse punishment right now than he would have been if he were still alive.

I'd pick death over prison any day of the week

Plus, not having any idea as to why he did it makes it much harder to process.

They are now saying that most of the shooting took place in a kindergarten class room... If this second guy in custody was actually involved, I hope they hang him by his balls.

Time to bring back public executions. Make it as inhumane as possible. Suffering for the wrong doer and warning to any 17ing piece of ***** that want to do something similar.

That won't deter these crazies. They welcome death

and usually don't plan to live long enough to be hung/whatever.

From what I read he basically executed a room of kindergarten kids. I just want to go get my kid from day care and hold him today.

Now reporting a second gunman and is in custody. 17

Nothing else being said for now about the second shooter report. The dead ******* is now being reported as a 24 year old. A body has been found in a nearby house. This thing is just plain nuts.

Hey guys can you just shut the 17 up about the gun rights thing for now and follow the story. Otherwise it will get locked.

No law or repeal of a current law will stop this.


This is about our national soul....and that's far more scary to this father of a 5 year old and 2 year old.

Both parents and then the school. This guy absolutely lost it.

Now saying 20 were kids instead of 18.

Der...what channel you watching? None of the channels I'm watching are giving as much info as you are. Are you at the school or something? I think you are getting info before the police are..,nice work

Looks like hs mom was a teacher at the school

He paid her a visit.

I've also heard that he killed other family memebers away from the school.

I'm surfing channels.

What's true, I'm sure we will know a bit later today.

Yeah it is looking less likely now that there was a second shooter even though it was reported earlier.

I've been bitching about travel, work hours, and shopping for the last week. Things like this sure do put your life into perspective...

Being a dad of a 2-yr old, I have no earthly idea how the parents are going to be able to handle this.

They had an interview on Fox with one of the Columbine parents earlier....pretty tough stuff.

My heart truly hurts for those parents and the children that were murdered. I also hate the thought of the parents that are now going to have to convience their 5-8 year olds that it's OK to go back to the school, whenever that might be.

While they were not physically injured, those kids so more bad stuff today then most of us grown men have seen in our lifetimes.

I just saw a report that the person in custody is the shooter's brother.

Yeah. Saying now it is his younger brother. I guess that is how they moved on multiple houses so quickly.

Also now reporting the shooter's girlfriend and another friend are currently missing.

I really don't know how to feel about this...

I, honestly, can't decide if I'm more sad, pissed off, or scared for the safety of my daughters and nephews. I guess it could be a little bit of all three. I have a 5 year old daughter, a 2 year old daughter, a 4 year old nephew, and a 3 year old nephew that I love more than my next breath. Every day I drop my 5 year old off at her elementary school that is probably very similar to the school in CT. Sometimes as I watch her get out of the truck, it really does cross my mind, "What if that is the last time I see her?" but I continue to drive and never really think it could be true. Something like this happens and it makes it more real that it is a possibility that every time I leave either of my daughters, that could be it. These crazy 17-ers don't care that those are my daughters, your daughters, your sons, neices or nephews. What in the hell makes a grown man shoot up a kindergarten class full of KIDS? Even the kids who survived in that classroom have, in some ways, lost their innocence and have lost their best friends forever. What do you tell a kid who watched this happen? How do you explain to them why an adult would do something like this to their teachers and friends? What has to snap in the mind of a man to make him think something like this is something he wants to do? Good grief dude, if you want to die, just kill yourself and leave other people and, especially, our kids alone!

This just sucks!!!! I can't wait to get to the house and just sit on the couch, hold my two daughters and watch stupid cartoons with them. Wow Wow Wubzy, Dora, Diego, Fresh Beat Band, and, that God Awful, Yo Gabba Gabba will never be so entertaining.

I don't know if we truly realize how ****** up this is. 20 6 year old kids got shot down. I'm having trouble processing this.

Government should officially encourage suicide. Seriously, if you're thinking about shooting up a kindergarten classroom, just go ahead and blow your brains out.
