Not unlike the terrorist attack against a school in southern Russia over 10 years ago.

One thing I will add is that you need to take a good look at what took place here, and don’t expose yourself unless you are absolutely positive you can make a difference. Not trying to be condescending, but I don’t want to encourage folks to confront this type of individual unless they are armed and close enough to do what they need to.

If the guy has a rifle and they have a hand gun, he can be effective at a much greater distance.

I think you might have scored a hit.

The perp has not been ID’ed all over the MSM and it’s been 2 1/2 hours since the event.

Either the perp is of a protected class, or the authorities have cranial-rectal inversion. Either option is a winner.

A father did this?!?! WHY? Did he kill his own kid???

He wanted to go out in a blaze of glory? He knew the MSM would sensationalize him? He'd become a clebrity through death like all the other mass killers? All of the above?

You’re absolutely right.

This sort of horror is directly tied to the degraded value of human life through abortion, euthanasia, bureaucratic-run healthcare, easy divorce, violent pop-culture entertainment, doing away with God as creator of Man for a sanctified purpose (if we’re all just apes at root, why should we play by anyone’s rules?), and doing away with God’s laws and instruction.

In other news today, tens of millions of law-abiding gun owners hurt no one as they have done for two hundred years.

It’s being reported now that the search for a second gunman has been terminated. Could be either it was nothing (fog-of-war effect) or he/she may have apprehended. Gunman confirmed dead.

To protect children I would act even in a hopeless situation. I would rather go out in the attempt to help and draw fire towards me and away from children then die hiding under a desk. Or survive and wonder if I could have made a difference

re the advice you gave your kids when they were in public school: Best thing I've read all day!

When all hell brakes loose I don't see how hunkering down in a corner or under a desk is going to be much help. They've got to get out of Dodge and do it quickly.

With the conflicting reports we're reading on this incident, if there were a dozen killed you have to wonder if the shooter went room to room. Were the kids sitting ducks? What a nightmare.

[ “Guns off the streets” is the left’s Orwellian Newspeak for banning guns from the citizenry.

Unless she had direct ties to the shooting, you ought to reply to her post that removing all guns will not prevent the deranged from harming and killing people. Just look what the Islamofascists can do with a suicide vest.

We need to shut down the leftists who use Facebook to propagandize.]

I would also post that we need to remove Forks off the streets to help the obese, and cars off the streets to save those who have been ran over by cars...

God help these poor people!

Starting to sound like terrorism to me too if there is indeed a second suspect on the run.

Incredibly sad. I have two daughters and I’m at their school a few days per week. It’s sad, so sad, but easy to see that our children are UNPROTECTED while in a school. It needs to be fixed. Taking away guns won’t fix it.

I’ve seen reports that he’s the father of one of the children and he’s 20 years old.

Both can’t be right.
