The media needs to stop interviewing children.

 

Absolutely. Hyenas.

Yup. Both parents are dead so maybe they are assuming he was either a target or in on it.

Just to clarify, did you mean to make that past tense? Or does she currently work there?

 

I used past tense because she was killed. She worked there at the time.

wow

That Ryan Lanza twitter just tweeted. Must not be him unless somebody has very successfully hacked the guy

The principal and guidance counselor at Sandy Hook Elementary School were both killed during the shooting, according to a witness that spoke to CNN.

Or he talked to someone ahead of time to have them update it for him to throw people off.

Look at these parents just waiting in the background

If you don't want to feel emotional, don't click. Woman seems to be reacting to the worst news you can possibly hear.

 

She was waiting to hear if her sister, who worked in the school was among the living.

I was in a lockdown situation in my high school about 6 years ago now and it was pretty crazy. No one was harmed but someone brought 6 guns to school. Intentions were unclear but rumor was always that he was trying to use them as currency. This is what we all fear when stuff like that happens

Thats crazy. I never even thought about that when I was in school.

31 fatal U.S. school shootings since Columbine. School shootings in every other country in the world combined since that time: 14.

Lockdown happened almost first thing in the morning. We all knew it wasn't a drill from the fear in the PA woman's voice. But yeah, two hours later, we got the all clear, officers checked everyone. I was lucky, as my classroom was one of the first rooms checked and we got to hang out the rest of the day doing nothing. There were some people who had to stay in a dark classroom for almost the whole day without the ability to go to the bathroom. The good thing is that nothing actually happened.

From what I just read, he walked into his mother's classroom, killed her, than just started shooting kids.

 

WTF?

Christ, Obama is getting me choked up

China constantly has school stabbings, not shootings. In fact, one happened yesterday I believe. A mentally deranged man went up to a school and just stabbed 20+ kids outside. Of course, a knife is a much less efficient killing tool as a gun, so the death toll was minimal.

About 5 or 6 years ago, we had a lock down due to a possible person with a gun in the area. This probably wasnt too bright at the time, but we had staff positioned at each door (hidden if possible) to defend the school and students. Probably wasnt the brightest idea, but we we're not letting someone into the building with a gun.

 

I was armed with a microphone stand with a very heavy metal base.

Yeah, I believe 0 deaths actually

So the mom is a kindergarten teacher. Guy kills his brother, heads to the school kills a few staff employees and students en route to killing his mother and kills the entire kindergarten class.

 

Disgusting

But it could have been the exact same death toll if the person used a blade a little larger, without a gun. The guy still had the time to stab 20 individual children.

Saw a notice on Reuters that Ryan Lanza is NOT the killer; his brother Adam was. Ryan Lanza is in police custody.
