the tragic shooting has nothing to do with the president, gun laws, military, etc.. so it'd be much appreciated if we can all grieve and share our sadness together, without the controversial off topic mumble jumble that will get others riled up. so no trolling please. kthx.

All six adults killed at the school were women. Of the 20 children who were shot to death, eight were boys and 12 were girls. All the children were ages 6 or 7.
Investigators are trying to learn more about 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza, who killed himself after the massacre.
The state's chief medical examiner, Dr. H. Wayne Carver, told reporters the children he examined all had "three to 11 wounds apiece."

Why do you think there's barely been any coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. of the shooting at the mall in oregon a few days ago? The gun was stolen. Had it been purchased legally they would be reporting it non stop. As soon as authorities found out the AR was stolen, the media dropped the story for the most part.
they are conspiring against you

The body they found was at his mom's home. He killed her and she was the kindergarten teacher at the school.

I'm literally crying as I am reading these details. Weeping

What kind of sick, twisted individual do you have to be to kill the most innocent among us? I can't even fathom what it would take to drive an individual to that kind of depravity.

Yeah, I guess they confirmed the gunman's mom was a kindergarten teacher. I hate thinking about what appears to be the events that occurred. Down

Vec was right. His dad was found dead in the house as well. This whole thing is making me sick to my stomach. I brought the kids in, hugged them all, and explained to them once again why they don't go to school.

I guess he got buzzed into the school too because they recognized him from visiting his mom at work.

I agree. All those young innocent lives lost. I'm having trouble even wrapping my brain around the reality of this one. So utterly sad and devastating. Weeping My heart goes out to everyone in Newtown, CT.

This is the only reason I'd condone home schooling.

Iagree My boyfriend and I are socially awkward. If it weren't for the fear that our future kids would be even worse about socializing due to home schooling, I'd be all for it.

This just keeps getting sadder Frown
