Multiple people are dead after a shooting this morning at a Connecticut elementary school, according to a report.

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.

If you cannot distingish between humor and satire, you are the one with a problem. Frankly, the guy was a nut, he is dead. What is to do about that now? I do not want this extended to seizing firearms, that is the point.
Get a life.

To kill that many people, the shooter had to have re-loaded at some point. Everyone else was helplessly disarmed. If even one teacher had a gun, who knows how many people could have been saved. What a terrible tragedy.

Unfortunately Conn did away with the death penalty.

I didn’t say white guys never do this. I said the media never says when a non-white guy does this.

Two gunman killing a school class full of little kids now makes me think this is either terror related or Columbine-style wackjob teens.


I think this is more Terror-Related. Sick teens who commit mass murder tend to commit such crime on their own age group

Beslan was Islamic Terrorism (Chechen). Tom Tancredo wrote about Beslan in his book from a few years ago...he was in the US delegation after the Beslan terrorist act....his description of the aftermath will make you cry.

If he was 20 as I just heard on Fox, I would be really surprised if this was a domestic dispute. I wonder what part of NJ they are searching.

Earlier reports said that the person who took out the shooter was an armed teacher. This hasn't yet been confirmed, though.

Yes, Beslan. Thanks for the correction.

FOX is already saying that this is not terrorism. I remain skeptical.

They (news reports) said he had mulitple guns...but I agree with you...he had to reload at some time

Per Fox, Washington has said that this is not terrorism. Now, we can assume that it is.

The shooter had several guns (either two or four, the reports vary), so he probably didn’t have to reload.

The kick back from this is going to be biblical

I think you're correct here. At some point there's going to be some kind of massacre of an entire high school football stadium full of people or something similar, then the next day legislation will be introduced to seize all guns. It's coming, just a matter of time.

Yes, I heard FOX say this too. And, yes, I too remain skeptical.

They know who the killer is, but still will not reveal name or ethnicity. Always remain suspicious
