Newtown releases 911 calls showing anguish and tension inside Sandy Hook

Recordings of 911 calls from last year's Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting were released Wednesday, and they not only paint a picture of anguish and tension inside the building, they also show Newtown dispatchers mobilizing help, reassuring callers and urging them to take cover.....

The calls were made public under a court order after a lengthy effort by The Associated Press. Prosecutors had argued that releasing the recordings would only cause more anguish for the victims' families....

One of the first callers to Newtown police was a woman who said in a trembling, out-of-breath voice: "I think there's somebody shooting in here at Sandy Hook school."

Asked what made her think so, she said: "Because somebody's got a gun. I caught a glimpse of somebody. They're running down the hallway. Oh, they're still running. They're still shooting. Sandy Hook school, please."...

Another call came from a custodian, Rick Thorne, who said that a window at the front of the school was shattered and that he kept hearing shooting.....

Thorne remained on the phone for several minutes.

"There's still shooting going on! Please!" the custodian pleaded as six or seven shots could be heard in the background. "Still, it's still going on!"

Within 11 minutes of entering the school, Lanza had fatally shot 20 children and six educators with a semi-automatic rifle. Lanza also killed his mother in their Newtown home before driving to the school. He committed suicide as police closed in.

Newtown police officers arrived at the school within four minutes of the first 911 call, but nearly six more minutes passed before they entered the building while they sorted out concerns over a possible second shooter, according to a prosecutor's report issued last week....

I agree. Some people see conspiracy in everything. I can excuse the doubters due to the messed up media we have.

What is this Alex Jones stuff? There was a shooting there, and Adam Lanza was the perpetrator. If what you say is true, where are the children, where is Adam Lanza, and where is his mother? Did these children not exist? Are the whole town part of some bizarre acting setup, with waxwork dummies in windows and such?

Show me a genuine emotionally sad response on video from ANYONE connected to this "shooting." Just ONE. ONE. The only thing on display from these "grievers" is a lot of Cheshire Cat grinning, inappropriate laughter, FAKE CRYING, smirking and stuff like that. Not a SINGLE TEAR or SHRED of genuine emotional sadness. You call these people "grievers," whereas those of us who see through their chicanery and BS call them LIARS and FAKERS acting on behalf of the gun-grabbing agenda.

Only an idiot believes ANYTHING coming out of these d@mn liars and frauds. I challenge you to juxtapose these losers to the people who suffered through the shootings at Ford Hood and Columbine High School. It's a freaking night and day difference.
