The parents and families of several hundred kids went through the worst possible hours of their lives, until they found out that their children were OK. The parents and families of the 18 ( I believe that's the current number ) of those innocent kids who were killed will experience that horror for the rest of their lives.
We will learn much more about the shooter's parents, especially the mom, that he killed. I suspect they'll turn out to be perfectly normal, decent people. It sounds awful to say, but they're probably better off dead. I don't know if I could live, knowing that a child of mine had done something so heinous.
The school should immediately be closed, and torn down. Build a new one on the grounds. Remember a similar incident at an Amish school some years back. That's what they did. The first responders and others at the scene..I don't know how they can deal with it. The images of the dead children will mark them forever. They are also victims, though they don't yet realize it. Their lives are also forever changed.
There is someone is dead in Ryan’s NJ apartment, not the father. Ryan’s GF missing.
