Worst.News.Ever.

My thoughts are with these children and their families.
 
In an elementary school!? What the heck!? :wow:
 
News at this point is still unconfirmed rumors on the number of people shot or killed. But no matter what, shooting at a elementary school is one of the worst things that can happen.
 
These shootings have gone out of control.

I wonder what the supporters of firearms have to say about all of these incidents?

It doesn't really matter whether people support guns or not. It will never be completely outlawed. People kill people regardless of the weapon. This has been happening since the dawn of mankind. It's our human nature to love one another and to kill one another.

Very true. Just look at China today, another school attack with a man stabbing 20 children. Its not the guns so much, its the people.
 
damn, my news saying 27 are dead :(
 
Elementary schools now? Seriously?:dry:
 
oh now they're saying more than 20 dead.

I don't really understand why whenever something like this happens, they always have to say this was a small town with rarely any crime. This can happen anywhere.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (CBSNewYork) – Twenty-seven people are dead including 14 children after a gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Newtown, CBS News reports.

Officials say the gunman was also killed and apparently had two guns. It happened around 9:40 a.m. Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

At least three people were injured, two children and an adult. All three were taken to Danbury Hospital. Their conditions are not known.

An 8-year-old student told CBS 2′s Lou Young he was on his way to the school’s office when he saw the gunman.

“I saw some of the bullets going down the hall and then a teacher pulled me into her classroom,” he said.

Police believe there may be a second gunman and are looking for a red or maroon van with its back window blown out, 1010 WINS’ Al Jones reported. Two guns have reportedly been recovered.

The district has been placed on lockdown. Schools in surrounding areas are also on lockdown.

Danbury Hospital spokesperson Diane Burke told CBS 2 that the hospital is also on lockdown as a precautionary measure. No one is being allowed out of the hospital and other than emergencies, no one is being allowed in, she said.

Lisa Bailey, a Newtown resident with three children in Newtown schools, told CBSNewYork.com, “Newtown is a quiet town. I’d never expect this to happen here. It’s so scary. Your kids are not safe anywhere.”

Students were taken to a nearby firehouse where they are being reunited with their parents. Afternoon kindergarten has been cancelled and there will be no mid-day bus runs, according to the district’s website.
 
This seriously turns my stomach, when kids are victims of senseless shooting sprees.
 
What kind of coward goes on a shooting spree in a ****ing elementary school??

got a feeling the dummies were trying to make themselves infamous with the killing spree
 
Supposedly at least one of the gunmen was a parent of a student.
 
and all the gun supporters will come out in full force... pathetic.
 
If there is a second shooter, then Connecticut needs to bring back the hanging.
 
Some people might say now is not the right time to talk about gun control. Now is the PERFECT time. How much more madness must occur? How many more massacres?? This news is sickening and this country's obsession with guns is sickening too.
