Oh, no.

As the proud spouse of a teacher, this frightens me. As a human being, it sickens me.

Crazy sick 24 year old. It's reported there is a body at his home also.
Might be one of his parents. I called my daughter and told her to give
my grandson a hug.

What is wrong with some people?

This School is about a 1/2 hour from me, i go bye it once a week . What i understand is the he killed his father earlier this morning in NJ , drove to the school where his mother works at, and killed her and anyone else that was there.....26 killed . 18 where children.....i think he was one of the dead......also . i think there may have been a 2nd shooter , at least what it sounds like.

Years and years of continuing cuts to mental health services and access to them coupled with the ease of buying a gun in this country. Took me a 2 page application and 3 weeks to adopt Max, I imagine I could have procured some sort of advanced automatic weapon in much less time with fewer references. I think addressing both those things together might make some progress.

I don't think there can be a more senseless crime than this.

also , you can buy guns on the street. Just you just need the cash to buy one.

Dear lord please wrap your healing arms around the family and friends of
the victims of this horrible tragedy and let them feel your love that they
may find peace in your embrace. Let them know that their loved ones are
with you in your kingdom.

I do wish we had a "like" button here.

I posted on FB that it's hard to listen to the Christmas music playing here at work. I don't have any kids in my life but I find myself shattered for those who have lost theirs today a little over a week from Christmas to boot.

Especially since you live in CT - I imagine some of those folks might know people in Newtown.

Jen I really don't know if anyone has the right words.
All we can do is pray.

I was just fussing @ myself this morning for not being able to get into the Christmas spirit,
Now I know it's not my fault but it's damn hard to plan Christmas while these good folks are planning funerals.
I really need to go ahead and pick my 6 year old up. She's all I've been able to think about today.

It concerns me how cowardly the state of man seems to be getting.
