Reminds me of the Dumblane School shooting we had in the UK back in the mid 90s. That was kids of 5 and 6 years old.

Un ****ing believable. No words.

Really sad and my thoughts and prayers are with the families of all impacted. Reminds me of the 2005 movie Elephant.

Rip.

I've been following this on CNN since 10:30 am today. At that point it was just a story about reuniting children with parents. The sources started saying a few injuries, nothing big. Then 1 fatality, then "multiple fatalities". So then I go nap, and wake up to my phone saying 27 killed!! What the ****, this is sick. this is beyond ****ed up. I was all elated about being done with classes, only to come to this. ****

Freedom of Information act prevents that

Media will get name and info

22 wounded in a knife attack in a primary school in China as well today.

This world we live in...

This X1000. Do not let sick minds think this type of act will make them famous. I keep looking at the pictures of my kids who are in school right now and I can't process how anyone could do this.

[Bureaucat]

cnn reporting that gunman has a connection to the school and death toll is closer now to 30 than to 20

Yep. There was one where a little girl was with her mother and this guy just comes up and puts a microphone in her face asking her what she saw.....

[John McClane]

I feel sick, this is so ****ed up ...

[hersky77]

The world we live in is truly sick and disgusting. How can some one even think of committing mass murder in an elementary school. These children had their whole lives ahead of them and now they dont because of two sick and twisted individuals. America needs to wake up and wake up fast because this is getting out of control.

Typically if I request something via FOIA it takes a written request, which must be postmarked by the U. S. postal service, and it takes 6 - 8 weeks turnaround time.

[Billy Mays Here]

Unbelievable. So my grandma dies today AND this happens? No words.

[Penguins23]

Just terrible man. No words to describe this.

[nyrpassion]

"could you ever imagine that something like this would happen in your small town?"
CNN to a mother of a 8 year old.
no **** she didn't wolf blitzer
some of these questions are insane.

[nyrpassion]

damn, some of these kids are so mature for their age.

[Cin]

The media of America is absolutely insane.

What a horrible, dark day for this country. Unfortunately it's just another to add to the list. We have a very ill minded nation : /

[Timbo Slice]

He may have killed his mother before going to the school and doing this....

I just don't even know what to say.
