CBS News is reporting that 27 people are dead including 12 kids.

Said the shooter was between late teens or early twenties.  I also heard he was a dad of a kid and fought with the principal before the shootings started.

At a primary school!? Wtf?

I'm not going to even speculate what the hell happened here until these news agencies agree on the number of dead and the number of shooters.

I'm sure I'd get crucified by the usual suspects if I even started to make this political..... But seriously, how often does this have to happen before we actually do something about it?

It's official now then. CBS News just said they arrested another guy who MAY  the be the second shooter.

If the AP confirms it, then it's pretty much good to go.

A high school shooting is one thing. This is a whole new level of evil. I will make an exception for my opposition to the death penalty for this one case (however, CT has no death penalty).

I do wonder if this will make my state reconsider the death penalty question.

That's irrelevant since the gunman is apparently dead. I'd imagine someone like this probably had little intention of surviving.

Words escape me...

You'll hear so many reactionary comments in the near future it will be overload.

Horrific, just horrific.

They now think there was only one shooter; the person who was arrested was walking into the school at the time the shooting was happening, so they're trying to figure out whether that was deliberate or just coincidental.

The media needs to calm down and figure out what the heck's happening for once.

How many times do we have to see this happen before we do something, anything about it? Not even with guns, but with mental health?
