Looks like the “Let’s Roll!” mentality is still alive and well...

"And why wouldn’t she?"

I can guarantee you, if I was a nationial celebrity, particularly a good looking blonde one, working for a much hated *conservative* network, I would volunteer absolutely NOTHING about my home life, family, hobbies, favorite restaurants, children, pets, car, etc.

If it is indeed the case that his mother taught there, that would explain his unchallenged access to the interior of the school - he was known to the teachers/officials.

Maybe, who knows. These Psychos should just turn the gun on themselves first and save lots of innocent people a lot of grief.

There is a whole class of folks out there who hate FoxNews and anyone associated with it. They view them as enemies. (I don’t, they do.)

We may not be there yet, but I believe we aren’t far from the point where people will try to harm certain people any way they can.

I would advise anyone on public television, to shield their family by eliminating any mention of them on the air.

Perhaps that’s going overboard. Is there anything this simple you wouldn’t do to protect your family?

Looks like the prototypical pot user to me. Went from a relatively goofy kid to a high as a kite type. I hope they do tests on the body. I can smell it off his pics.

I've been waiting for this since 911. I don't know if this is a muslim or a deranged person, but in Israel, the teachers are armed.

The gun control, gun-free-zone fools can take a bow for this one.

“20 something year old guy with four weapons, two pistols one rifle dunno what the other one was, bulletproof vest, goes into a school, shoots the principal, a passle of children, and then ends up dead.
Second man running from the scene captured in the woods.
Haven’t heard any names yet, which is real odd.”

From the conspiracy theory angle, the guy who was hiding was supposed to die too.

They have to figure out what to do with him and how to keep him quiet.

Won’t be surprised to see him transferred to Federal Authority soon.

News report is saying he was buzzed in (as are all visitors) shot up the front office, then went to his mother’s kindergarten classroom

Maybe so, as the report is that she was found at her home and not at school. That would explain how he got around being buzzed into the locked school (which is normal here in CT).

The suspect in one of the the deadliest school shootings in history has been identified as Ryan Lanza, authorities said Friday.

According to police, Lanza, 24, is suspected of killing 27 people — 8 adults and 18 children — at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

A neighbor of Ryan Lanza’s parents in Sandy Hook told The Huffington Post that police are at Lanza’s parents house.

The shooter was killed during the rampage and several others were injured.
The identities of the shooting victims has not yet been released.

The gunman was wearing dark clothing, a mask, a bulletproof vest, and was carrying four guns. A cause and manner of death is pending, police said.

Police continue to investigate if there was a second shooter involved.

Unconfirmed reports say that principal Dawn Hochsprung and a school psychologist were killed, according to a parent who claimed to witness part of the attack, CNN reported.

The masked gunman entered the school administration office around 9:40 a.m., about 30 minutes after the school day began. The first 911 call was received by police one minute later.
