Is that an official statement? There's been a lot of rumors flying...

 

[skiNEwhere]

27 dead? I heard about the story, but no numbers.

This is terrible.......

 

[skiNEwhere]

Murder is senseless regardless of who is killed, but even moreso in the case of children. Early reports say it was a parent. I can not, and never will fathom what could possess someone to kill children.

I can't eat lunch I'm so nauseous from this story. I want to go home and grab my kids and never let go.

The number of dead is unclear, but there are at least 20 shooting victims. Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, sources said.

One entire classrom is unaccounted for outside the school, sources said.

Heartbreaking. My son was in a kindergarten classroom elsewhere in CT when this occurred..

No, the number keeps changing.

Now it's 27 dead and 18 of them children. Getting worse and alot of critical injuries means it will only get even more horrible.

This is a heartbreaking tragedy.

This.

26, 18 of them kids. From a police statement.

 

[Nick]

Wow, just wow. This makes me sick to my stomach.

My wife is a 1st grade schoolteacher, and I have a 6 month old son at home. I can't even imagine this.... just unreal. And it's even more real because it's in Connecticut; my home state, only 30 minutes from where I grew up, and for a lot of you guys here probably even closer...

Sick to my stomach.

incomprehensible

Something needs to be done...

 

[FRITOLAYGUY]

My first job for 5yrs was in newtown down the street from this school i cant believe that happened. Im upset and pissed off all at once

Something needs to be done...

IMO, the only thing that can be done is we as a society need to get better at recognizing the signs of mental illness and prevent such people from committing such heinous and evil crimes.

That's about all you can do really.

That's a long, long road. Unfortunately though, when there's a will, there's a way.

This is very sad

Horrific.

Hug your kids and family.

Reach out to friends and family when they are having difficulty to prevent something like this from happening. Take responsiblity for yourself and your friends and family.
