Multiple people are dead after a shooting this morning at a Connecticut elementary school, according to a report.

According to a witness report, the school's principal and another staffer were killed while the vice principal was shot in the leg afte a gunman opened fire in a hallway.

A witness said gunshots were heard in the hallway during a meeting and that "100 rounds" must have been fired, according to CNN. After the shots were fired, three people ran into the hallway but only the vice principal crawled back.

Cops responded to reports of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary just after 9:40 a.m., and said the gunman was in the school's main office, according to reports.

Of course I understand the "point" you were trying to make.

It was obscene though given the absolute fact that, rather than offer prayers or sympathy or just shutting up, you chose to politicize the murder of six year old children.

I was referring to Connicutt and Oregon, but you can get ready in Colorado.

After hearing the screech from this “Reichstag fire ”, none of should be surprised at the push for nobama to try Executive Ordering 2nd Amendment axed.

Ryan told police Adam was autistic

I just read another article on Yahoo news, that they aren’t sure his mother ever worked at the school? Why would that 20 year-old man drive to the school and do this?

Why would that 20 year-old man drive to the school and do this?

A few observations based on (n)hand rumor/faulty news reporting...

Just on ZH:

Update 3: Adam had Aseprger Syndrome - a high functioning form of autism. In other words, watch as the debate rages over the traditional bogeyman of gun control, in a country with over three hundred million weapons, when we may well simply be talking about a mentally ill young adult.

May or may not be true but from his photo, he seems pretty shy and timid. IMO, he doesn't seem quite up to methodically taking the lives of 20 children and seven adults. It would seem to take a seriously cold-hearted, and proficient killer capable of calmly reloading under extreme stress.

Why the mask? What about reports of two shooters? What happened to the other person of interest? What about the vehicle leaving the area with the rear window blown out? Why was the mom killed? Why wasn't he rushed as he seems not very well built. How exactly did he get in? Where is the surveillance footage? Where was the hate? What was the motive? Aren't AS suffers clumsy?

A fiction novelist or conspiracy theorist has more than enough here to construct a professionally planned hit to further an agenda similar fast and furious as some have alleged it was setup as a reason to restrict the second Amendment.

Just sayin'

good questions. IMHO from experience, albeit small, with autism and the higher function, even the higher function kids wouldn’t plan out and act out this kind of violence. the Borderline Personality Disorder along with the meds, that’s a different story. perhaps his dosage was upped and upped. not good on a young male, predisposed to BPD.

From my experience in schools as a: parent, Teacher and volunteer, the school system (public) is a BIG PUSHER of Drugs for the kids. Attention Deficit Disorder, ADDHD and depression. 1/2 the kids in one of my kid’s gifted classes was on the ADD dope.

When a boy would act like a boy, teachers wanted them to go on the drugs. The School systems have a hand in the drugs-to-kids problem.

Yea, I don't think they're into planing. If the mask story is true, why would he need that? A mask would be more of benefit for conspirators to hide who did the actual killing.

Why go to the school anyway? Why wouldn't he have just did himself after mom? Would take a strong hatred/get even reason for an AS sufferer to go to all that trouble.

It doesn't add up given what we know or the rumors floating around.

Re #164: “the children are with Jesus. “

Not all will believe that, but I do.

How many of them would have reached the age of accountability (about 12 according to Jewish tradition) before having been ensnared in Satan’s web as so many kids lamentably are?

How many innocents were murdered by abortion over this past year alone in CT? They never knew a parents love; not one Mothers kiss or one birthday. That is the silent massacre no one seems to grieve.
