A crazed gunman dressed in black went on a rampage at a Connecticut elementary school this morning, in a massacre that left the shooter and 26 dead others - including 18 children.

Adam Lanza, 20, shot his mother dead and targeted her kindergarten class at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., sources sais. Sources also told The Post that Lanza's mother was a teacher at the school and he "had a dispute with her."

Lanza is dead inside the school.

Lanza used two handguns and a .223-caliber assault rifle, an official said. The official also said that New Jersey state police are searching a location in connection with the shootings.

Police in Hoboken, NJ are questioning Lanza's older brother Ryan, 24, but he is not a suspect.

Not only has he be wrongly identified in the media as the perpetrator of this, but he’s lost his mother and his brother. Prayers for Ryan Lanza along with all the people and their families affected by this.

To call this a mental illness is to denigrate people who actually have mental illnesses. This person did not have a mental illness. This person was evil.

We need to recognize that there are evil people in this world, and this person was one of them.

All of the psychological and psychiatric mumbo-jumbo in the world could not have prevented this incident. This person had a black heart and complete absence of any human soul.

May he burn in Hell forever.

NBC channel 4 here in DC is already talking gun control.

I swear. I am not a conspiracy theorist but I do know that Communists know pshycology and I wonder if they are somehow spurring these incidents to ban guns so they, the Government Communists, can finally take over our Country.

Since Obambi has another four years, he can back door massive gun control and Congress, especially the House, will say nor do nothing about it.

TENTATIVE info: It’s looking like Adam killed both his mother and father, who were divorced and living in separate places, then went to the school where his mother was a teacher and slaughtered her entire kindergarten class. There are also reportedly a girlfriend and a friend who are missing. It’s not clear to me whether it is Adam’s girlfriend and friend, or his brother Ryan’s.

Also looking like Adam could not or decided not to get to his 24 year old brother Ryan, but instead carried his ID so that Ryan would be publicly blamed.

There is also a report that a second brother has now been found dead at the shooter’s home, bringing the total to at least 28 people:

How can Barry appear so upset over this when he has spent his entire political life defending the killing of children?

What part of free will should God take away form us to prevent these terrible events?

"I suspect this young man has a severe mental illness."

If there is a hole through his "mental" I would agree with you.

They do make 10mm Glocks. 10mm is the predecessor round to .40 Smith and Wesson. FYI, the classic .45 ACP caliber is 11.45mm. As for what it it used for - same thing most other handguns are used for, defense.

And maybe his father as well. Prayers for Ryan Lanza indeed.

Although we have some on here that would consider your post “Conspiracy Theory”....Only a fool or a moron would think Obama and the Dems will not use this incident to push for more Gun Control.

And who knows how pre-programmed, whether by government or on his own accord, was this shooter. If someone was truly “mentally ill” they would not have been able to plan and execute such a tragedy

What’s just in is that the first name is now being reported as Adam...clearly it was appended to an earlier article.

Jared Lee Loughner (Tucson,AZ) - 23 yo white male.

Adam Lanza (Newtown, CT) - 20 yo white male

James Eagan Holmes (Aurora, CO) - 24 yo white male.

Jacob Tyler Roberts (Oregon mall) - 22 yo white male

Eric David Harris (Colulumbine, CO) - 19 yo white male

Dylan Bennet Klebold (Columbine, CO) - 17 yo white male

Anyone detect a pattern here? It’s time to check these shooters’ medical histories for psychotropic drugs.

It is definitely not a hunting rifle.

Don't tell that to my brother, he's taken deer, feral hogs, and coydogs.

There is no insult to mental illness when someone with a mental illness does something so wrong. If that were true, a coach who is a pedophile degrades all people who are actual coaches.

Severe mental illness is a reality and it is simply a manifestation of a physical problem.

I’m saying that the medical/mental health community is failing a segment of the population and the results are terrible. Intervention is not an impossibility. I’m not saying it is the only solution.

Well it is pretty much a textbook rule that is the age when schizophrenia (if you’re going to get it) kicks in.

Just by being in Facebook you can have your name dragged through the mud.

It’s happened twice now.
