bigruss Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) Can you imagine being a parent of a kid on lockdown just waiting to hear if they were one of the victims? f***ing horrible. Nope, don't even have kids and I feel like puking from the thought. I also can't imagine being the officer telling the parents, or the SWAT members finding the bodies. So many people are going to be affected by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No info yet, they said an entire classroom is unaccounted for, so there has to be a reason he went in there to kill. I wouldnt be surprised if it was either a custody issue or if another teacher was an ex of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 14, 2012 -> 12:27 PM) Once pandora's box is open, there is no going back. Outside of metal detectors in every school, public building, etc, there is no real way to stop this type of crime. You can potentially limit the death count, but you cant stop it. Technically, you can- but the means of doing so are just as frightening. I think every time something like this happens we get a little closer to finding that out.

You'll know exactly what I mean the second you see and hear that child. At that point it will no longer be a love you can imagine...but a love you can actually feel. Congratulations, by the way, it's a big deal. At least you gave us a second to share a happy thought in the midst of this story. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) he death toll is closer to 30 than 20, a federal law enforcement source in Washington told CNN's John King. The source also said the suspected gunman, who is dead, had a connection to the school. He would not elaborate on that connection. The source is in touch with authorities on the scene. update: Most of those killed are children, the source said.
