According to a witness report, the school's principal and another staffer were killed while the vice principal was shot in the leg afte a gunman opened fire in a hallway.

A witness said gunshots were heard in the hallway during a meeting and that "100 rounds" must have been fired, according to CNN. After the shots were fired, three people ran into the hallway but only the vice principal crawled back.

Cops responded to reports of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary just after 9:40 a.m., and said the gunman was in the school's main office, according to reports.

How about a brother of an abused child ?

Or a brother carrying out an 'honor killing' ?

Or a brother following some crazed order from and adult .. the father ?

DC murderers malvo and mohamad come to mind.

Right - interesting how the MSM shoots from the hip then has either spin the story or admit it was mistaken and buried it deep in the classifieds. That guy they arrested just happened to be in the woods for whatever reason - maybe. It'll be interesting to watch how the MSM does spin this tradgedy - bet they're looking for a conservative/tea party connection.

Looks like the mother of the shooter had custody of his child and put the kid in the CT school. So he drove in from NJ, killed his mom and then went to the school and killed his son and the Kindergarten class and teachers and staffers. Evil.

A “gun free” zone and a God Free Zone. All the talk \shows , not one mention of the fact that religion is being driven out of society by the secularists. NO RELIGION, NO MORALS

MSM certainly HELPING to spread the conjecture by speaking with people that don’t have first or second hand knowledge.

One interview, Mother is a teacher in Kinder at the school.
Another interview, the shooter’s kid being bullied.

Last name “Lanza” from New Jersey

I think the school should be held largely responsible for not ensuring the security of those students.
