Here we go again (somewhere holder is smiling)
Prayers up
NBC-CT reports that 3 have been taken to area hospitals. No additional information on severity of their wounds or ages (students? teachers?).
Prinicpal may have been the target.

[Disgruntled parent or domestic situation?]
NBC-CT is reporting that NBC is reporting:
shooter dead
shooter was an adult
2 handguns recovered from scene
NBC-CT interviewed one student earlier. The female student said she heard 7 ‘booms’ before the gym teacher had students huddle in the corner. Student said she heard additional ‘booms’ but didn’t not say how many, while they were huddling.
It is time to eliminate the ban on weapons at schools, and openly allow trained CCW folks to carry while dropping off and picking up their kids.
I am so damn sick of this!
This isn't a gun problem. This is a cultural problem - the breakdown of a sane and moral society.
NBC-CT reports that 3 injuried were taken to Danville(?) Hospital. Hospital will have a presser within an hour.

Lots of good information posted on this thread. Sorry, I don't have time to contribute updates to this thread today.
Prayers for all involved...
I can see these incidents as being used to argue for something beyond mere gun control—to wit, for a totalitarian police state where we are kept under close government surveillance in order to keep us all “safe.”
We are a nation of wimps when things like this happen time again and good people do not arm themselves.
We will have aome candlelight vigils and tears....but that doea jack squat for dealing with the next psychopath.
Perennial victims and wimps.....it ia to the point of being embarassing.

Update: According to Hartford’s FOX affiliate, children were indeed among those killed in Friday’s shooting. Police are said to be searching for a maroon colored vehicle with the back window blown out in connection with the incident.
WFSB, the local Fox affiliate, reports that the school is asking parents to stay by the phone awaiting information and not to go to the school.
This is a STEAMING PANTLOAD! Why lock down every school in the area if the perp is already down? If this were an organized attack, it’s be Beslan Redux and a masscal scene.
We used to live not too far from Newtown. It’s a nice, upscale town. Not as fancy as Greenwich or the towns closer to NYC, but no slums or anything.
I would guess that this was either a nutcase, or someone who had it in for the principal over a disciplinary dispute or something similar. (Still a nutcase, if so.)
Danbury, where some of the victims were evidently taken to the hospital, is not too far away, and has a few slummy sections. But I can’t imagine why the slum folks would go all the way to Newtown to do something like this.
Obama and MSM to demand banning guns in 3...2...1
ping
26 dead.. So far..
Can we please put a moratorium for today on political comments? This is just incredibly sad.
