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.

Well, I’ve been wrong before and I may be wrong again but I’d sure like to find out the killer’s name.
That information surprised me too. A 20 year-old man from CT. (not sure about the Jersey info), had a child in the school.?
That was my thought. Was shooter a 20 year old father? or 20+ year old?
I need to get ready for something like that. One of those sealed containers and lead shielding. With that buried in six acres of woods, good luck to them trying to find my stash.
In the meantime I’m loading up on ammo and clips.
Fox said the car bomb in NY was not terrorism... the iranian student attack in NY was not terrorism and major hassan was not terrorism. Fox is no better than the rest of the media.

We heard not much for the briefing that we don’t already know. We can rest at ease though, it was reported that Obama called the governor...glad they got that political comment in.
Summation: scene secure, many fatalities.
A horrendous event and will play out over many months from here.
Oh, believe me, I’m no fool about FOX. Didn’t know they said that about Ft. Hood, though!
Lord, would Obama and Carney stay out of this?
Is it in an affluent type neighborhood or is it city, inner city?
If there's a woods out back, I'm guessing it's a relatively well-to-do white school ... and yes, my racism is showing.
Not much officially. It’s amazing the conflicting info that it coming out from “officials” whom are involved but can’t comment due to the ongoing investigation. (but they can run their mouth off to the nearest MSM spokeshead/writer).
Wouldn’t be surprised if its Paterson.
20 year old guy with a school age child?
And a child in a school one of the wealthiest areas of the country.
Yes be suspicious if they are searching in Paterson. Upper Saddle River...maybe not so suspicious
THANK YOU. I was astonished to read these comments, barely any saying prayers for these people.. there really are some crude people in this world..
Looks country.
They are reporting locally that the guy was 24 y/o
I believe he was 24. However, even a 20 year old nowadays could have a five year old child.

One man in 1927 caused the largest loss of life at a school. He did not use a gun.
The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, on May 18, 1927, which killed 38 elementary school children, two teachers, four other adults and the bomber himself; at least 58 people were injured.
Most of the victims were children in the second to sixth grades (7–14 years of age [1]) attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest mass murder in a school in U.S. history and the fourth-deadliest massacre in U.S. history, behind the Oklahoma City bombing, the Mountain Meadows massacre and 9/11.
The bomber was school board treasurer Andrew Kehoe, 55, who was enraged about a property tax levied to fund the construction of the school building. He blamed the additional tax for financial hardships which led to foreclosure proceedings against his farm. These events apparently provoked Kehoe to plan his attack. He died in a car bomb he set off after he drove up to the school as the crowd gathered to rescue survivors from the burning school.
On the morning of May 18, Kehoe murdered his wife by beating her to death, then set his farm buildings afire. As fire fighters arrived at the farm, an explosion devastated the north wing of the school building, killing many schoolchildren. He used a detonator to ignite dynamite and hundreds of pounds of pyrotol which he had secretly planted inside the school over the course of many months. As rescuers started gathering at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and detonated a bomb inside his shrapnel-filled vehicle with his Winchester rifle, killing himself and the school superintendent, and killing and injuring several others. During rescue efforts searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol planted throughout the basement of the school's south wing. Kehoe apparently had intended to blow up and destroy the whole school.
