It should be noted that the little girl who died this morning had her family with her when she was taken off life support.
" ... Fourth Child Dies After Amish School Shooting
(AP) NICKEL MINES, Pa. A fourth child died Tuesday of wounds from the shootings at an Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County.
The 7-year-old girl died about 4:30 a.m. at Penn State Children’s Hospital in Hershey, hospital spokeswoman Amy Buehler Stranges said.
“Her parents were with her,” Buehler Stranges said. “She was taken off life support and she passed away shortly after.” ..."
>>>>I hope and pray that the electrical devices in the hospital are not something they objected to. God bless the people of Nickel Mines and surrounding communities, as well as the innocents in the gunman's family.
It is my understanding (limited as it may be) that the Amish are not opposed to medical care such as surgery, emergency services, life saving procecures.
The monster put his own children on the bus that morning, called them back as they were climbing aboard, and hugged them saying "remember daddy loves you".
His grudge also apparently had nothing to do with the Amish, it was with girls, and he chose these little ones as a close target of opportunity.
The Amish don't shun medical treatment, or the use of medical devices. From what I have heard/read this a.m. the 7 year old had 'catastrophic' injuries.
Words can't truly describe the horror and insanity of what happened. Just please say a prayer.
Frequently, I really hate the world we live in.
