[wenwe4]

ABC reporting 1st grade teacher locked children into a bathroom. Kids wanted to go out and see if anyone was still outside of the bathroom. One child said "I just want to have Christmas" . . . Teacher replied "You will have Christmas and Hannakah (sic?)".

Shooter's Mother was a Kindergarten teacher . . . shooter appeared at classroom door and shot up whole classroom and killed his Mother. Speculating "this is the face of Mental Illness".

I have a 24 yr old son. If he killed a classroom full of kinders, I would hope he'd kill me first. I would never be able to handle it otherwise. :rose:

Or that he would kill himself first, save everyone else, and be done with it.

At least CNN is redacting. Waiting for the others to follow suit. Although I believe they simply have the brothers confused. That is at least what it sounds like?

Our kids had the last day of school for the holiday break yesterday(Friday). Mine came home, so excited about Christmas and the holidays. It has literally broken my heart to wake up here in Australia to this horrific news.

My thoughts are with all of the families. We will be adding an angel to our Christmas tree today.

How very heartbreaking. I don't even know what to say. I'm going to go pray.

That picture of the children being led with out hands on each other's shoulders, terrified, is heart shattering...

That's why media needs to be sooo careful when naming suspects. I'm glad our mods pulled the last thread for that very reason. This is such a great place to be (although I horrible reason to be here).

This is the 2nd largest school shooting in history. What a tragedy.
