There are no words.

I have no words of wisdom or scintillating analysis. Just pray for these people.

My God.

Reuters reports:

At least 27 people, including children, were killed on Friday when at least one shooter opened fire at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, CBS News reported, citing unnamed officials.

The shooter, the father of a student there, was also killed, CBS News reported. The principal and school psychologist were among the dead, CNN said.

There were unconfirmed reports of a second shooter after witnesses reported hearing dozens of shots fired.

Sandy Hook Elementary School teaches children from kindergarten through fourth grade - roughly ages 5 to 10.

20 yr old parent of a elementary school student? It’s possible but there has to be a lot more to this.

People don’t just “snap” and murder children.

The elites will medicalize the problems of the shooter(s), and the whole thing will fall under HIPAA secrecy.

If the circumstances can't be used to push the agenda of the left, the whole thing will be dumped into the memory hole, just like Loughner and Holmes have been.

If a connection can be made to Conservatism, even of the most tenuous nature, it'll be pushed wall-to-wall 24/7.

If so, then that person will be arrested if they're a school employee for bringing a gun to work. /sarc

You're absolutely right. Muslims set up their bases right in the schools.

This is soooo terrible. My heart goes out to everyone.

We'll know something soon.

It's possible that this WAS a terrorist plot.

We need names...and country of origin.

America has lost its way. When our Government is corrupt and has lost is foundation, Christian religion is being attacked, all leads to the loss of morals and depression.

Was Thomas Watt Hamilton a Muslim?

I hope this is true, too.

Did no one at that school have a firearm handy?

The school was probably a "gun-free zone." I wouldn't be surprised if it had a "zero tolerance" policy toward guns that prohibited children from even pointing their fingers and yelling, "bang, bang."

I think you are correct. Just posted one of CBS’s links on this.

They are claiming the father of one of the kids did it.

Thank goodness we're being updated on the personal emotional status of Governor Malloy first, before all the other inconsequential stuff.

Wow.

If the shooter is white, he’ll be labeled Christian or conservative, an unfriendly loner who gave neighbors the creeps. If he’s any other color, but is former military, he’ll be billed as ex-soldier. If he’s any color other than white, and not military, it’ll be an incomprehensible tragedy, he’s the victim of mental illness, and his family will sob about what a wonderful young man he was.

Didn’t they have a “No Guns Allowed” sign?

shooter(s) probably didn't see it. If they'd just had a few more signs everything would have been OK.

I just listened to the presser and I thought I heard the LEO say that they were seeking info outside of the country. Did anyone else hear anything like that? It was after he said he had heard from Obama, who made the usual promises of help.

Yes. A pair of some flavor of nutters. It’s just so shocking. Only an immoral, unstable person would harm children.
