    Unbelievable...and awful.

    There truly is evil in this world.


    ETA: A second person was involved?

    Mind-boggling. I can rationalize one person completely losing it and doing something heinous/evil like this...don't misunderstand, I'm not saying I understand the act itself, but I understand that it happens...but for him to have found someone else willing to participate? I just don't get it. I seriously do not get it.

    My 11 month old niece (in my profile pic) is in daycare in Newtown. The daycare is in lockdown still but she is safe.

    Please pray for all the families involved in this horrible tragedy....who kills little kids 10 days before Christmas? My heart is breaking.

    Well, the schools are on lock down. But lock downs are no use when the killers are inside. Like on air planes with the marshals. Staff need to be chosen to be trained in the use of firearms and be permitted to carry on school grounds. Or use the national guard reserves to rotate in and out. It is an idea, not sure how feasible.

    They are saying it is the father of a student who had an issue with the Principal. The Principal was killed, the school nurse, several other staff. and 18 students. most of which were kindergarten students.

    They believe there may be a second shooter or an accomplice.

    Newtown is 2 towns from where I live.

    The guy was clearly off his rocker. No normal person does this.

    What an awful thing to have happen, especially right before Christmas, which usually involves cherishing your family, which some families will now only feel a hole that can never be filled.

    My heart goes out to them.:brokenheart:
