A parent was just interviewed and she said she was with other parents who were waiting to get their children. She said someone came out and told 20 parents that their child was dead. OMG

I can't recall where I read it now - one of the MSM articles, but someone local was asking how it could have happened if the doors were all locked. I'm guessing that the parent might be the answer to that question. I wonder if the parent really was the shooter - or maybe a victim as well??? (Like they used the parent to get into the school or something?)

Too many loose ends and conflicting reports -- all I can offer right now is MOO!
 
I hope, even against hope, that they were wrong about those injured/deceased, and that the numbers are grossly inflated, even though one would be one too many.
 
LT, J Paul Vance, CT State Police, confirms several fatalities, but no more info until proper notification.

shooter deceased inside the building.
 
Governor is meeting with families right now.

Lt. Paul Dance from State Police: After 9:30 this morning recd 911 call. Called state police, etc. Went into the school and searched the entire school. No information being released about the victims until proper notification. Investigating the shooter and that will take time with search warrants, etc. School is secured at the moment.
 
Presser: Lt. Paul Vance, CT State Police

"Just after 9:30" 911 call received.

Newton PD contacted state police.

LE entered school immediately on arrival to evacuate school.

No information released on fatalities pending notification of loved ones.

Shooter, however, is deceased.

LE activity "in and out of state."

The scene is secure.

Public is not in danger.

Will return for another briefing "as soon as we can."

Just got home and heard about this. Absolutely horrific. Those poor children, I cannot stop crying looking at the picture.

Can we PLEASE GET RID OF GUNS NOW? How many more children have to be killed before we grow up and grow out of this absolutely infantile culture of violence and power worship we have in this country?! :banghead: oh my god these poor babies, I cannot even stand thinking about it.
 
Prayers to everyone involved. What an unthinkable tragedy this is.

We have such troubled individuals in our society and I don't have the slightest notion how to prevent events such as this.

I did the same earlier. I went outside, looked up at the sky and asked WHY?

Looking at the photos of the children crying and holding hands just tore me apart. It's almost Christmas.... A joyous time for children.


Here I go again.....:tears:

I know. I'm working on a brief that has to be filed today, my college kids get in tonight, and all I want to do is go pick up lil one from school and hug on the couch. Praying for the victims. And God bless those teachers and school staff - what a thankless job they have and look how it ends.
 
Those poor babies! These poor families. I am so devastated ;( I can't imagine right now. I need to hug my baby tight. What kind of world do we live in where we can't send our babies to school?? They were probably making holiday crafts for their families. It's 11 days before Christmas!! This is so wrong I can't even process

I don't know why this makes me angry. I understand they need to investigate, but it enrages me that he is in that building, dead or not, with all those children he killed.
