Can't tell you how many times I've said that the kids today do not have as good a childhood as I did. All the electronics, games, and gadgets are great, but can't take the place of the freedom from fear that I had as a child. Never had to be scared to play outside or fearful that something like this could happen to me at my school.

Carrie Usher, a fourth-grade teacher at Sandy Hook, was having a team meeting with three other teachers while her class worked in the library. They heard gunfire and then the loudspeaker came on with "fighting and crying and maybe some screaming," sounds of chaos that she said were being broadcast throughout the building.
Ms. Usher is still uncertain what was broadcast over the loudspeaker. "I think it was fighting," she said in a phone interview. "I think it was the principal before she was killed put that out there to warn the teachers what was happening. I believe so. We don't know."
Of all the sad days on WS, this may be the saddest day on WS.
Maybe kids weren't as fearful in the past, but unfortunately that didn't mean terrible things didn't happen sometime. The worst mass murder at an American school happened back in 1938: Bath School disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It was actually on May 18, 1927. Andrew Kehoe blew up Bath Consolidated School. It was the deadliest American mass murder until the Happyland Club Fire on March 25, 1990, which claimed 87 lives in The Bronx.
