Multiple people have been killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dickinson Drive.
Police said some of the shooting victims are children but it is not clear if they are among the dead. They were still searching the school at 11 a.m., and police dogs had been brought in.
Sources said a person believed to be a shooter is dead. Earlier reports of a second shooter are unconfirmed.
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Some children were among those killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Friday, The Hartford Courant reported.
The number of victims is unclear, but the local ABC affiliate says at least 12 dead have been confirmed and that the gunman was likely a parent of one of the students. Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, the Courant reported.
NEWTOWN, Conn. (CBSNewYork) – Twenty-seven people are dead including 14 children after a gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Newtown, CBS News reports.
Officials say the gunman was also killed and apparently had two guns. It happened around 9:40 a.m. Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
No death is easy to take when a story like this happens, but for me at least, I'd rather hear about another adult passing than another kid. Sorry, that's just the way I am. It sounds horrible, but it's a lot more heart wrenching to hear that kid after kid has perished. :(
Obama is crying here during is speech about this terrible tragedy.
As he should. Not going to make fun of that. I am crying.
He's gotta be just sick about this then. I'd be llivid.
Already seeing all the libs on different forums using this "just happened" tragedy to push banning guns. What classy pieces of shit they are. :mad:
DEVELOPING: Authorities say at least 26 people, including 20 children, were killed Friday when a gunman clad in black military gear opened fire inside a Connecticut elementary school.
The shooter, who sources told FoxNews.com was 20-year-old Adam Lanza, and had ties to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. He was found dead inside the school, according to officials.
A source told Fox News that the shooter's mother and father, who were divorced, were also killed. His mother, who taught at the school, and her entire kindergarten classroom were killed at the school. Eighteen of the children were dead at the school and two more died later, according to Connecticut State Police Lt. Paul Vance.
His girlfriend and another friend are missing in New Jersey, according to law enforcement sources.
Now they are saying that both brothers might have been involved in it. Good grief, why don't they get the story straight before they say it ...

WCBS is airing video of man being handcuffed, looks like man in Facebook profile that was being circulated widely by others.
No mention of God in obama's speech! No surprise there! He just said "I will do what I can"! The only thing that can stop this is intervention of God! The only reaction I can think of to this is prayer to God to save us from this evil.
I see this as obama putting himself above God!
This gets confusing. I heard the shooter is dead.
Updated at 3:55 p.m. ET: The first that some pupils heard of the mass shootings Friday at their Connecticut elementary school was when screams started coming over the intercom system, according to accounts from the scene.

Man Stabs 22 Children at Chinese Elementary School
December 14, 2012
Chinese state media say a man stabbed 22 children and an adult at an elementary school in central China on Friday.
In March 2010, a man described as an unemployed middle-aged doctor killed eight children with a knife at a school in the southern city of Nanping.
Some observers say the attacks have highlighted a weakness in the Chinese medical system's ability to diagnose and treat psychiatric illnesses, which have been on the rise as many are unable to cope with the rapid pace of social change.

My friend sent me a text about it, I saw it when I was sitting in the school lot for pickup. I didn't hear it was kindergarten kids until I was in the car on the way home from the store, kids screaming in the backseat. And then I started crying.
What kind of sick **** kills FIVE YEAR OLDS?!?!?!?! Just guns them down in cold blood? I cannot even imagine how scared those kids were...and the whole time, all I can imagine is it being my kid's kindergarten class, her and her funny, sweet little friends shot by some sick ****. It makes me so angry and so...I don't even have the words. All I know is that if some ****er came into her classroom and opened fire, he'd better be dead because by the time I was done with him, he would wish he was.
There is no spot in hell hot enough for this guy.
What kind of sick ******* inflicts this type of harm on children?
My prayers to all the families affected. I know it isn't much.
I am not a real emotional person. I don't cry easily. I cried today. My son is 22; but I remember how innocent he was at that age (5); and I cannot comprehend how someone can shoot a child in cold blood. My prayers to all the families involved.
THe school was secured. Why did the attendant just buzz the kid through just because his mom worked at the school?
Ct has some of the most strict gun laws on the books. why do we need federal actions?
How many Ct gun laws did the vermin break to kill innocents?
I was hearing that yesterday and wondering how he could just waltz in there fully armed. I have heard that only pistols were used so I suppose that they could have been concealed though. I also wonder if maybe he got in by pulling the gun and making them hit the button.
If the person who buzzed him in is still alive I imagine that person is sick with grief right now.
I just hope that we will finally learn that gun free zones is not the answer. I hate the thought of having armed security in our schools, but at this point sniper towers at every school doesn't sound like a bad idea.
Schools need one of those buzz buttons that banks and other businesses have that automatically call the police. So in the chance one of these sick ****ers get in, someone can hit that button instead of picking up the phone to dial 911.
I just can't wrap my mind around this. :(
This was just too close to home for me. I just sat there and cried after hearing this on the news yesterday. Why even try to make sense out of something that was just pure evil. I just covered my eyes and lowered my head in prayer for all of those families who've lost their little loved ones at this time of year.
At least the perp is dead...let God deal with him now...I'm sure that'll be quite enough punishment right there...
SATAN is alive and well and is doing what he does best.
Outrage as Westboro Baptist plans praise gathering outside Sandy Hook Elementary school to celebrate God 'executing his judgement' in horrific shooting rampage that killed 20 children and 6 adults (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2248892/Sandy-Hook-shooting-Outrage-Westboro-Baptist-plans-praise-gathering-outside-school.html#ixzz2FEthViN)

MONTHS BEFORE SHOOTING, “CIVIL LIBERTIES†GROUPS DEFEATED CONN. LAW AIMED AT THE VIOLENT MENTALLY ILLCounterContempt (http://www.countercontempt.com/archives/4364)
There have been reports that the shooter, Adam Lanza, had mental health issues. This would very much fit the profile of people who commit that type of crime, from Laurie Dann (who used a gun to murder schoolchildren) to Steven Abrams (who used a car for the same purpose) to Zheng Minsheng (who used a knife).
And here’s a fact you might not know – Connecticut is one of only SIX states in the U.S. that doesn't have a type of “assisted outpatient treatment†(AOT) law (sometimes referred to as “involuntary outpatient treatmentâ€). There’s no one standard for these types of laws, but (roughly speaking) these are laws that allow for people with mental illness to be forcibly treated BEFORE they commit a serious crime. Whereas previous legal standards held that the mentally ill cannot be institutionalized or medicated until they harm someone or themselves, or until they express an immediate intent to do so, AOT laws (again, roughly speaking) allow for preventative institutionalization or forced medication (I highly recommend reading the data cited in the link I provided in this paragraph, especially regarding what is known as “first episode psychosisâ€).

Love it. And as much as I despise Anonymous, they are joining in by hacking Westboro and releasing personal info. It is way past time they met their demise. I hope this is it.

This story was breaking over here about the time I was at a friends house for his daughters 5th birthday party.
Every time I read a new story about this over the weekend I went and hugged my kids.
I won't even try to pretend I know the anguish they're going through.

‘We Will Render You Obsolete’: Anonymous Attacks Westboro Baptist Over Plans to Picket Sandy Hook Funerals (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/we-will-render-you-obsolete-anonymous-attacks-westboro-baptist-over-plans-to-picket-sandy-hook-funerals/)

As the country grieves for the families in Newtown, Connecticut, where a crazed gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary on Friday, members of Westboro Baptist Church have announced their intention to picket the funerals of the deceased.
Westboro Baptist member Shirley Phelps-Roper first reported the plan on Twitter, CBSNewYork relates.
<snip>
Disgusted by Westboro Baptist’s actions, the hacker group Anonymous stepped in on Sunday.
According to msnNOW, the hackers released the private information of Westboro Baptist members online, including phone numbers, professions, birthdays, known relationships, home and email addresses, in retaliation.
Anonymous also included an accompanying video in which they excoriate the self-described church in the strongest of terms, and pledge to destroy it.

Lanza was vegan, according to Hanoman, because he “didn’t want to hurt animals.â€

These protein deficiency symptoms can lead to some emotional as well as mental risks such as: apathy, anxiety, depression, irritability, moodiness, intolerance, mental alertness decrement, concentration, comprehension, increase of hunger and weight and many others serious problems. Thus, protein deficiency could prove as a major cause to make mental health of an individual weak and poor.http://basicorganic.blogspot.com/2009/12/protein-deficiency-symptoms.html
I think the point was to show he didn't want to hurt animals, but he had no problem killing a bunch of kids.

You know, I have been watching Sons of Anarchy and I really don't know if it's an accurate portrayal but it seems there has to be some America loving bikers that would take the opportunity to vote in taking out those pieces of human shit.

if you think that the people portrayed in SOA are about 1% of the biker population, then yeah. I love the show, btw, but most bikers are nothing like Jax n company.
No more than gun owners are like the Conn. shooter.

Newtown to the media: You're making this nightmare worseDenver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_22210288/newtown-media-youre-making-this-nightmare-worse#ixzz2FW3snhwu)
"Enough is enough." That's how one local woman summed up the weird and terrible media spectacle that has overtaken her once sleepy hometown.
As Newtowners gathered in shock to comfort one another after a 20-year-old resident went on a shooting spree that killed 20 children and six women at Sandy Hook Elementary School, they also traded curiosities about the crush of TV trucks and notebook-toting reporters that swarmed their usually quiet community.
Teri Brunelli, one of the owners of Everything Newtown - a little shop that sells items like Newtown souvenirs, school supplies, key chains, and hand-knit gloves - said she has been harrassed by television crews. Even when Brunelli declined on-camera interviews, TV producers were calling her multiple times late at night to try to convince her, she said.
"We need you to help us beg people to stop calling the victims," the woman said. "They're in mourning. Someone actually pounded on a friend's door and, literally, they were shouting, 'Someone in this town has to start talking to us, this is our story.' That's how we're being treated."

Denver Post (http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_22210288/newtown-media-youre-making-this-nightmare-worse#ixzz2FW3snhwu)They should let this town grieve first, and at least get over the holidays. If someone has some relevant information that can help the case, they will come forward...hopefully...until then......
Damn vultures.
Um, you're in for a big shock if you watch Season 5. Gruesome, nasty, sad shock.

I really don't give a damn what video games he was playing and when. Why is this so important? We get it, there are violent video games out there... but if those were the reason for violence, we would have a lot more mass shootings in this country.
Playing violent video games isn't no different that when I was kid and we played cowboys and indians, or GI's and Japs, and Nazis.
I play a lot of violents video games too.
I did , but haven't in a few years, but my wife still does. Hmmmmmm.

We knew it was only a matter of time before some scum sucking lawyer jumped on this. Maybe this lawsuit will be an impetus for armed guards in all schools, something the left doesn't want.
I'm just wondering why the parents are going forward with this.

Or it could have been something more sinister. He may have been trying to block out the screams of his victims, the sources said.
Already, he said, an examination of what remained of Lanza's brain showed nothing unusual.
"It's a fishing expedition," said H. Wayne Carver II, whose autopsy of Lanza is one of nearly 1,000 he has conducted in his 30-plus years of experience. "I don't think we'll find answers. But that doesn't mean you don't look."
