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."
"I believe everybody was hit more than once," he added.

Rumor going around that Newtown schools are in a lockdown of some sorts this morning. Completely unsubstantiated at this time, so it's probably already been on the news.

There was a threat made against Head O'Meadow Elementary in Newtown, so instead of re-opening today, the school will remain closed.

Some sackless coward thinking he is funny, no doubt. Sickening.

I barely held it together ....until the very last sentence ...which is also when my 4yr old came in the living room to get his bear. Just so sad.

From the Connecticut PTSA:

When school resumes for Sandy Hook, it will be in a new building. Parent-volunteers are working to ensure that the students are welcomed back by a winter wonderland with the entire school decorated with as many unique snowflakes as possible. We encourage senders to be as creative as possible, remembering that no two snowflakes are alike. Please make and send snowflakes by January 12, 2013 to the Connecticut PTSA at:

I still cannot watch the news....we had christmas early this year because of family commitments...and it was hard to stay in the moment and enjoy it..because I kept thinking of the families whose lives will never be the same...because of one person..

I usually try to address issues and explain things to my son..i did give him facts and had to leave it at that because i just couldnt keep it together....his last day before chistmas break was that friday..and driving up to the school to get him and seeing all the kids just being kids around the school made my heart break even more for those families...

I know the gun debate is intensifying...and knee jerk is to get rid of them all...or to arm every one...i am in disbelief with the suggestion to arm teachers....but this was one sick person who did this...there are many responsible gun owners and we have not descended in total chaos...we still drive on the right side of road, can go shopping at kmart,...pick up dogs from kennell, travel to see friends and family...get nails done..ect...live and love our lives as best we can...that is really all we can do....

My ramblings for the day...god bless everyone...

The little babies and their guardians are being put rest this week. If I feel so heart broken, I can't even imagine how the parents, family & friends are feeling. Feel so helpless. Frown Weeping

I'm sure he was just trying to make a point in his own way but I wouldn't have felt too bad if someone in the school had shot him on sight.

I liked the comment, "He also had 400 rounds of toothpicks in his pockets."

Yeah, schools have changed a lot since I went to school too. We used to have emergency drills for atomic blasts.
