This is just unbelievable.

Remember that wack job that stormed the school and killed children a few years back? Wasnt it an Amish school?

imo

Yes, Lancaster, PA if I am not mistaken.

I'm actually listening to a local scanner feed again, but won't write anything out that I'm hearing on this public thread...

With more than 100 shots reportedly fired, it would be hard to believe there won't be a large number of deaths.

 

[Sleuthster]

A dozen people dead..OMG per ABC

No!!!

I figured as much. It appears to me, based on reports, that the shooter did have a target, but why are children among those shot and possibly killed? I was going to assume that this may be a case of an ex-boyfriend/husband going after the intended target, but how do you go from the intent to shoot one person to shooting innocent children? I am not saying that the intended target isn't innocent, so please don't get me wrong. I just don't understand why he turned on the children who had nothing to do with whatever problem he had with the target? I am not even sure if this has anything to do with this man/men being the intended target's ex-whatever. It just makes no sense to me.

Truly tragic!

But states 2 shooters, one still at large ?

 

[PMLsmom]

At least 20 shot...

IF this report is true and there are that many victims, then how in the world can they say that there was an intended target?? My God! Double digits?? That number would include numerous children plus staff that has already been reported shot or deceased.

Yes I do remember that, I live in PA 40 minutes from where it happened. 5 girls died, 5 wounded and the Amish forgave the man. God love them, I woudn't. IMO

Children are among at least 12 people killed, according to reports by a local newspaper.

This is horrible! At least 12 people dead. This could be one of the deadliest school shootings in US history! Sickening! :furious:

Please note: there is an ongoing search for a 3rd vehicle. A little bit ago they were securing another location. So, please keep that in mind and don't put up anything that's going to hamper their ability to catch this other vehicle.

27 are dead. 12 were children CBS

LOTS of prayers are going to be needed, and lots of help for this community... I have to check some of the articles to see if what I've heard has been reported.

The made-for-TV movie - "Amish Grace" - about that tragedy is on LMN today at 4:00PM. I thought about it immediately because I posted this on the crime-related TV thread earlier today.
