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.

They both are. One is using the other, and at the same time society is slowly collapsing upon itself, but that rate is steadily increasing.

Are you trying to kill the sNews industry?

I think that they might be muslims.

I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I DO want to know the identities of the perpetrators and what their connections are. The media had better NOT try to conceal any Muslim connections if there are any.

And to think: not one of the good guys had a gun.

Every teacher should open carry, and be required to go to the shooting range every month. If they can't hit the target, they should not be allowed in the classroom. If they can't use a handgun, give them a shotgun. If they can't use a gun, they can't protect their children.

It is sickening that the left will blame the gun, but not support the gun that would prevent this Satanic act.

Reporting the guy was from NJ.

Interesting.
New Jersey is Nazi Jermany when it comes to guns.

Eighteen children murdered and you see it as an opportunity to tell a tired old gun joke...you should be ashamed of yourself.

Virtually every violent crime facilitates islamism.

SOMEone is NOT to be pitied and it is equally logical to surmize whom might be the reason for the deaths.

WE all have read here in FR numerous reports of muslim (f'rinstance) honor killings and we accept that as a fact and sick, but never criticize it as making it political to learn of that "honor killing"

Conservative America is on our toes since Nov 6, and there's a whole lott'a distrust to share.

NOTHING is going to make this an easy swallow.

The kick back from this is going to be biblical. I’m placing my order for my Saiga ammo tonight as soon as I get home. I’ll get some more clips while I’m at it. This is really going to get bad now. My heart goes out to the kids and the parents.

That said, it’s time to arm the teachers. Enough is enough.

Profanity has it’s Harvest. Abortion is a seed: This is the Harvest. G-d is NOT mocked. Whatsoever you sow that shall you reap. What people have forgotten is that you cannot break or injure the Torah. It will break you. It is man who must submit to the Law of G-d. Period. Deuteronomy 30:19 says it so well: “This day I call Heaven and Earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; Choose Life, so that you and your CHILDREN may LIVE.

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

Last similar atrocity I remember was Dunblane in Scotland where the butcher used a knife on an entire kindergarten class

Dunblane involved gun(s), not a knife. In fact, it was the incident that (largely) led to the near-complete handgun ban in the UK.
