School Shooting In Connecticut

Children and adults gunned down in Connecticut school massacre – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs

[Updated at 3:22 p.m. ET] It appears that another member of the alleged shooter's family is dead. A senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation says a brother of the alleged shooter was found dead in a home searched in Hoboken, New Jersey. We already knew the suspect's mother was found dead in the elementary school.

Gonna be a lot of conflicting information coming out for awhile.

.223 Bushmaster was used. Same gun the DC Snipers used (majority of the time).

[Updated at 3:54 p.m.] Three guns were found at the scene, CNN's Susan Candiotti reports. According to a law enforcement source, the third weapon found on the scene was a .223 Bushmaster. The other weapons, previously reported, are a Glock, and a Sig-Sauer. No word on the models of Glock or Sig-Sauer.

Guy came to rumble. Sick. Guy takes out his whole family and innocent children. Makes you wonder about people, ya know?

The part that is bothering me the most is what SS wrote. He said he did it execution style to the children. So did he line them all up and then mow them down? Oh god.

its just disgusting. i just dont understand why we allow crazy people to walk around with assault rifles, its just as baffling.

For those that don't have children here is one way I describe having kids.

Ever almost fall and you get the tense feeling where you like stiffen up and you get kind of butterflies. Before I had kids I alone got that for myself. Now if I see them about to fall or get hurt that same exact feeling floods over me but I am perfectly safe. It is weird but that is how connected you are to them.

That's what I heard, I think on NBC?

The reporting has also been pretty sick if you ask me. If this happened at my daughters school and a reporter stuck a mic in her face I'd kick that SOB's ass. Strang thing is the parents are allowing their children to be interviewed. The media has no business being allowed on the school grounds and they need to back off. The reporting was also way off just to be the first to report what they thought were facts.

I thought the same thing while looking at the main pages of a couple of news site. "Hear 3rd graders first hand account" - NO THANK YOU!
These kids had so much taken from them today; shoving a camera and a microphone in their face isn't going to help anyone. Let the counselors and parents do their jobs to help these poor kids.

So many what ifs that are now gone.

This makes me want to cry.

There is no reason at all to interview a single child

Words fail me ... been holding my 5 year old extra tight tonight.

I can't imagine the hell those families are going through. Although I know there isn't, I wish there was some way to give them some relief from there pain. Prayers & thoughts are all I have to offer.
