Wasn't this one in an Amish schoolhouse though?
It takes a real piece of garbage to go on a shooting spree in an Amish school
QUESTION: How much you want to bet, Law enforcement reacted to a violent hostage situation and perhaps, maybe, possibly, could have killed more than just the now deceased perp?
Multiple fatalities.
The situation is HARDLY over.
Prayers for the victims.
Hah, I usually don't like it when people make jokes during serious situations, but that's funny.
Funny thing is that PA just had a special session on September 26th to try and pass legislation concerning guns ie one hand gun purchase a month and assault weapons ban. Rendell really pushed it. Nothing was passed last week but now you have this happen
We also have a town called 'Intercourse'! LOL!
Weird the video they are showing doesn't show kids standing around crying or hugging each other...nothing like that. Everyone just seems to be standing around like nothing happened.
Very odd.
It's interesting to note that the Amish are ideologically pacifists. They're unwilling to raise a hand against a fellow man even in their own defense.
I wonder what they'll have to say about this outcome.
Why why why do wisecracks like that appear on such horrific events? Note: One is NOT required to post anything
The premise is at least partly sound. The clusters are due, imho, to media promotion -- but that may just be making your point again.
MSNBC
Still unknown number of dead. Shooter confirmed dead, however.
Building could probably hold around 30 persons.
I very much doubt that law enforcement killed anyone but the perp.
They are not saying.It was a hostage situation.They are-state police-not giving a reason for the shootings-if they know.
My TV at the office, which I got on 9-11-01, went south in the spring, and I used it for .45cal target practice.
IT is not funny
Say some sicko wanted to shoot up a school. At an Amish school, that sicko know nobody is going to be shooting back.
The Amish may have just learned of a flaw with their belief about the evils of guns and violence.
Probably in shock. Also, its possible the parents/familes have not been transported to the scene. (Shudder) - I hope its not because none of the kids made it out.
Five, maybe more, killed.
Local CBS news reporting several casualties.
Prayers for all...
