27 Dead in Elementary school shooting in connecticut - Page 3 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Some things are a little odd -- that it's a father, he's only 24, and that they spent a lot of time looking for a second shooter.

I wonder if this is an act of terrorism. Those guys are nuts and I don't think it's impossible that they would kill their own child. And this seems to be the kind of heinous thing that they would be left to do to get attention.

Yeah terrorists have considered the Newtown Elementary School a prime target since the Cole bombing. Seriously, the clockwork idiocy of these speculations whenever something like this happens, and their immediate disproval is astounding

yeah, the worst part about all these things is the reaction, like there has to be a reason and there has to be a way to stop it next time. So like now every kindergarten in the country will have a metal detector and an armed guard and a locked door, because .00001% of kindergartens have a student with a sociopath father

Yeah I've got a little girl in kindergarten but I'm from New Hampshire so it hardly bothers me at all.

Grade schools have always seemed like ridiculously soft targets.

From the way it's being reported I think we're going to find out he killed an entire classroom and then whoever got in his way.

They're currently searching a home in Newtown.

So, there is/was two shooters and one of them is dead and the other is in custody? Am I hearing this right? I've heard conflicting reports on whether it's one or two shooters.

I find it hard to believe two adults could conspire to do this.

CBS News reports that a potential second shooter is in custody and that SWAT is now investigating the home of the suspect.

oh my god

I am actually on a school bus returning from a field trip with my fourth grader while my first grader is back at school and I am having a hard time containing my emotions.

Unfathomable

Incomprehensible

It's beyond comprehension. While it's highly unlikely this has affected anyone that I know, it does make you die a little inside knowing the how much pain will come from this for the rest of these peoples lives.

Evil sucks.
