Channel 3 reporting what CBS News is reporting:

A ‘person of interest’ is in custody.

[Earlier eyewitness reports said shooter was dressed in black.]

Swat team at shooters house (so they know who he is already).

If they ALREADY KNOW that, then that suspects the shooter is a protected minority.

Local (Conn) news saying they do have a second person in custody, but it is not clear if the person was a shooter or what.

Ugh, State of Conn putting out call for Med Examiners to do autopsies. Heartbreaking.

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

When my daughter was in high school, there was a kid we thought might snap one day, and my advice to her at the time if something like that happened was to run away fast and swerve left and right like a running rabbit so that the shooter couldn't draw a bead on you.

That wasn’t in my report, which is from a local CT TV station.

Exactly what it is, as well our economy in a free fall. Crime, rage incidents always go up when the economy goes down and I would bet anything this guy just lost his job or is in financial trouble and lost his mind. Yep, but let’s keep raising them taxes, like dumping cement on a sinking ship.

Right. Because women are just perfect and never, ever do anything wrong.

The left is going to make their usual accusations.

The system is anti-male.

The guy was evil and a nut case.

The left says that people are crazy because of society, that they are the victims of society.

I’m using their argument to postulate the cause of his being crazy.

I think it’s pathetic that you don’t see what is happening to the family in the US and you don’t see so much of the violence in society as the result of the breakdown of the family.

“They were shoting in the hallway.How did they get in the school with a mask on?”

Only a guess, but -

The person(s) got buzzed in because they were routine visitors known by the school, maybe a parent or school lunch salesperson, and the mask was hidden underneath the coat. In this weather a heavy coat would obviously not be suspicious.

Then, once inside,...

I dunno if they’d care, but they do need to be shamed somehow. Perhaps family members should be dealt with.

Jewish shcool was attacked in LA. When someone intends evil, it doesn’t matter where the victims are.
