I'm going to see if a mod can change the title.

Those numbers haven't been confirmed yet, so there's no need at this point. The presser will likely give us an idea of the true number.

Don't get me wrong, any mass shooting is absolutely horrific. But only a real life monster would be capable of entering a ELEMENTARY SCHOOL with the intent to MURDER kids aged 5-9. Those poor, innocent souls. How can someone look at those tiny, little faces and just decide to murder them?
