News conference coming up.

I want a picture and a name. Those two things may say a million words.

This is horrible. As a parent, I cannot imagine the horror they are feeling. That being said, this will probably be the last straw before the government finishes off the 2nd amendment. I say shut down public schools and go entirely home schooling. This is a better solution.

Wait, I seen in a previous post that the shooter was 20? Kindergarden kids are 5. This is not adding up.

When the police got into the building, they told the children to start running and not stop until they got to the nearby fire station. I have never seen how sitting all together in an unlocked (or barely locked) room is going to do anything except make it easier for the shooter.

“...exit the property immediately before they lock the damn doors and set-up a killing field and go to predetermined place ignoring any teachers on their way, I will be there within 4 minutes of them calling me (better than police response) while evacuating. “

Do the OPPOSITE of what was done in Columbine. EXCELLENT advice for your kids!!!

NBC special report.

Pete Williams reports that the shooter was age 20 and had connections to CT and NJ. No other information has been released.

And we ought to ban mountain climbing and skiing and other extreme sports. Lots of people getting hurt and killed with those activities.

Same old story, I bet. Guy wanted to get the media circus and "go down in history" so he picked a place and targets he knew would (1)be shocking to the general public, and (2)be absolutely incapable of defending themselves. No doubt the media will give him what he wanted. It is criminal for schools not to have armed security personnel on site, because schools are about the softest target I can imagine. What more could a terrorist or demented nutcase ask for in a hunting ground? Yet another of myriad reasons not to subject your children to government schools.

Jim miller from CBS news just tweeted second shooter in custody. Jim miller is former terrorism ‘expert’.

This is starting to sound like terrorism for sure. If I had a child n school anywhere today, I would take them out of school.

Oh, and we also ought to get the government out of schooling.

These shootings almost always happen in government-run schools.

schools can't afford armed guards and if they could, they'd be unionized and would be instructed to save themselves first....

if you're going to have kids in school, parent volunteers should be everywhere....its time to become active in protecting our children....

Maybe someone should ask her why, as guns have been around for thousands of years, we are seeing a lot of these happening recently. The problem isn’t guns, it is other things in society resulting in mental derangement. We can debate what those are, but to go after the guns is to attack the symptom, not the problem
