Update 2: Pennsylvania Police: Amish School is 'Horrendous Crime Scene' After Shooting
NICKEL MINES, Pa. — At least two female students and one slightly older female — who may have been a teacher's aide — were shot and killed execution style in what police say may be a revenge killing for something that happened 20 years ago.
State Police Commissioner Jeffrey Miller said Monday that truck driver Charles Carl Roberts IV entered the one-room Amish schoolhouse in earlier in the day. The gunman brought in pieces of wood to board up the doors to the building when he entered the school. He also stacked desks against the building's doors.
"It appears that the suspect entered school with the intention of taking hostages," Miller said.
Roberts had wire ties and plastic flex cuff, which he used to begin tying the hostages feet together after they were lined up along a blackboard. He let go 15 male students, as well as one adult female who was pregnant. Three other non-student females with infants were also allowed to leave. One shotgun and one handgun was found next to the suspect when police entered the building.
"It seems as though he wanted to attack young, female victims," Miller said.
After a half hour inside, Roberts began shooting. When the gunfire stopped, three females were found shot dead at the scene, along with the suspect, who shot himself, Miller said. At least seven more victims — some critically wounded — were transported to nearby hospitals, he said. One victim, a young girl, died in the arms of a trooper, Miller said. He could not confirm how many people died en route or at the hospital. The county coroner earlier reported six children killed but then backed off of that statement.

School under lockdown
Lt. Col (Ret) Steve Grossman has been predicting these for years as the next preferred AQ modus operandi. Remember Beslan!
This is not AQ so why bring that up?
What is MSNBC?
Rhetorical question: Has the whole world gone absolutely freakin' crazy?
Just west of York, on Rt 30 west past Thomasville...

FoxNews:
Elementary school. (IIRC, they only attend school through 8th grade, typically.)
Wish the Fox News guy would quit repeatedly mispronouncing Lancaster.
"Amish Country" no joke.
And after the bussards are done chewing on this criminal, we should feed him to the buzzards, too!

I've driven by that school home many times when visiting the area.
