Not surprised at all. I am very afraid it will get much worse over the course of time.

I hate that it sounds so conspiritorial, but after so many iterations, you start wondering. You start wondering if this stuff is planned at a very high level. Now there’s a shooter at Kindergarten??!? What’s next, a mad gunman at a kitten-breeding and cloud-painting operation? It’s just crazy. I don’t hear this stuff happening THAT often in foreign countries, even ones that allow guns. Germany, France, Switzerland.... you really gotta start wondering if the powers that be, find a nutcase really close to the edge, and work them. Like the Batman Movie shooter. He did NOT have adequate funds to get that high-level hardware, including Level 2A Ballistic Armor. His entire dress-out cost anywhere from 10K to 20K. He was a broke student. WHERE DID HE GET THAT HARDWARE?

Fact is, this sort of societal moral break down illustrates more than ever the absolute need for the Second Amendment.

And for the American people to shut down this godless, atheistic government system of liberal indoctrination.

.... Just conjecture on my behalf but as per Drudge ... shooter is the father of one of the victims. So it is my guess that this could well be the result of a child custody dispute. The second shooter, if there is one, may be a relative or close friend of the first shooter, possible a son who may be caught up in the emotional fore' of the custody dispute.

Again, that is just my uneducated guess. The situation is still fluid and there may be duplicate information floating around creating the illusion of a second shooter. As information is solidified we will have a better understanding of what indeed did actually happen.

At least 100 rounds are believed to have been fired

This is preliminary information, and consequently not 100% reliable as the scope of the tragedy continues to be understood.

Cops have been notorious bad in the past as far as identifing “second shooters”.

It's not cops, it's bad witnesses.

Pretty much every single mass shooting (and even the recent Oregon Mall shooting) has had bogus reports of multiple shooters, with it turning out to be a lone gunman.

If you’re going to think like that, you know the answer.

Fast and furious.

Someone wants to get our guns and they know what it will take to convince sheeple.

Stafford loans and Pell grants?
Credit cards?

many student loans don’t require any proof of what you use it for. if you’re planning on checking out, why not max out the visa?

There may be federal charges possible if terrorism/crossing state lines, etc. If the second suspect exists, the SOB is going down hard.

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.

That's good and makes sense; get the kids running away. But yet Drudge has a picture up showing kids going single file, holding onto the shoulder of the one in front. Maybe they do that with the younger ones.

We had a recent, horrendous home invasion (Petits in Cheshire CT) where the perps got the death penalty and soon after that, the assembly decided to get rid of the death penalty after that high profile case.

What do you mean “unaccounted for”? Is this in addition to those already confirmed dead?

They do happen abroad. You just don’t hear about it until it’s worse than one of ours, like that Nazi that killed all those kids at a camp.

And the Colorado kid probably used his student loans.

You start wondering if this stuff is planned at a very high level.
