the scum killed his mother first then went after the kids. what a hero.
Just read that--apparently she was a teacher at the school where he murdered those poor children. The number of children killed has been updated to 20.
I think he killed his father at home first. What the hell is with these kids?

Here in the UK the BBC News Channel is delivering continuing coverage of the events as they unfold. All other world events have been set aside for the time being. Just watched a recording of President Obama's statement on these events. Very moving and statesman-like, clearly delivered with strong emotions on the subject. The national debate will follow, but this is not the moment. If you can get to watch a repeat of President Obama's speech do so - he summed up the immediate issues so wonderfully. Martin

so are mine We held a moment of silent prayer at temple tonight for the victims. love doris

I have always tried to see other points of view and try to understand why different people think the way they do, but I cannot understand why someone would want to murder children. This is like trying to understand how amoeba think.

Sometimes I let stupid sh!t ruin my day. Some days I feel like a million bucks for no good reason. - I don't even remember of what kind of day I was having yesterday, before I turned on the news.

It also names the adults:
Head teacher Dawn Hochsprung is listed among the dead, along with adults Rachel Davino, Anne Marie Murphy, Lauren Russo, Mary Sherlach and Victoria Soto.
- they too are equally important and probably surrendered their lives trying to protect the children.... Martin

i am avioding the news and the papers etc i just dont want to read their ages. GUNS WERE INVENTD TO KILL. GET OVER IT YOU WHO SUPPORT GUN OWNERSHIP.
-
You have to remember..even if we had GUN CONTROL, these sick people would find a way to get a hold of a gun! They don't have a moral compass and wouldn't feel they needed to abide by any laws!

It was the mother's gun, wasn't it? WHY DIDN"T SHE LOCK HER GUNS UP???

dont tell a granny to suck eggs. i grew up in ulster in the 70's and the guns were not legal. but my mother has lived 30 years in winchester and once in all that time were guns showed not used and that was for a bank robbery, plus the police shot them dead. my comment was for those idiots who plead the ammendment and the fact that guns dont kill people but people do. Fact the constitution was written to justify the rebellion against the crown, no more and n o more less. It was not written to say everyone can have a gun but that the right to rebell against a government is just.

e l She may have. He lived with his mother. He may have known how to get to the guns. There are no words for what I am feeling about this. Just deep, deep sorrow and anger.

No...they should be locked away without the kids knowing how to get them. Kids should NOT know how to get the gun.

She took the little bastard to the shooting range to "practice his aim."

The gun lobby forget in all the mass shootings it is not the criminal class doing it. Not one of the ***** has ever been to prison. In the criminal world you have a gun to commit a job ( crime) and to protect yourself from other criminals.

So sad. All the parents who can never celebrate christmas ever again with their little children. One of the fathers made a very touching speech in front of the TV-cameras about his killed daugther, very hard to watch. And also very tragic about the adults, esp. the female teacher who was nearly at my age (Victoria Soto, 27), she seemed so nice and carrying about the children, all of her friends said good things about her, and it breaks my heart to see the pictures of her on TV and know she's death, with her pretty smilie and this beautiful woman in general, it's not fair. I'll never understand the US and their guns.

I do not like all the guns here either. The tragedy will be felt for generations to come. love doris
