School shooting in CT

[Caine 147]

Early reports indicate shooter is DOA - conflicting reports about whether a student was shot or a teacher was shot, but, haven't heard about any fatalities other than shooter.

ETA: apparently shooting took place in principals office and 3 people (presumably teachers) have been taken to hospital but still no clear number of how many people (if any) have been shot aside from shooter

 

ETA: reports indicate shooter had 2 guns - 1 teacher shot in foot.

So if the shooter had 2 guns and presumably this was a gun free zone, how did the shooter end up being the shootee?

 

At least it turned out well.

[JackDaWack 2,895]

Be interesting to know where the student got the guns.

[O-gre 7]

Probably a teacher not happy with their contract.

[ZOMBIE 19]

Jest if you will, I guarantee you, that before the day is out Dunblane will be mentioned, and the howls for banning will be all over the media. Thi sis the one that will get the banning people traction

Exactly!

Now reporting multiple fatalities, including the gunman.

It appears there is unfortunately no shortage of deranged people in the world who are sick enough to go after children. Even today in China a man slashed 22 children with a knife. http://www.rediff.com/news/report/china-man-goes-on-stabbing-spree-at-school-22-kids-hurt/20121214.htm

 

A very sad day for the victims, families, and humanity in general.

From CNN:

[updated at 12:16 p.m. ET] The principal and a school psychologist were killed, according to a parent who was at the school during the incident. The vice principal was shot in the foot or the leg, said the eyewitness, who has a second-grader at the school, and who talked to our colleague Meredith Artley.

My question is this. They say the shooter died in n unknown way... So question- if someone with a concealed carry stopped the shooter, would the media ever publicize it or would they bury it? 99% sure the media would lie and bury it for the furthermeant of their agenda.

[Malsua 1,422]

I read an article saying that at least one child is dead. Since the stuff you hear during the first hours is generally wrong, let's hope this is wrong too.

[Caine 147]

Way too much conflicting info right now. One station is reporting 2 gunmen with one still on the loose.. which really doesnt make much sense for a school shooting... not that any thing about this makes sense.

[XDJohnTact 49]

27 people now confirmed dead according to channel 2 at 12:38, 14 students. Shooter dead. possible from New Jersey.

[PhilipJFry 4]

10 to 1 this was a situation involving seperated/divorced/estranged father

[Arbelest 29]

Every one is going crazy in anticipation for the end of the world.

Great... We are all going to hear about gun control for weeks now. Glad I just made a purchase of ammo today... Hope I get it before a "president order executive freeze" happens to anything firearm related. Jeeeeez.

 

Feel so bad for the victims and families. I hope that if there is a second perpetrator/murderer, they tie him up and slowly electrocute him to death. Sick f***! Makes me angry seeing this.

I'm sitting in my breakroom at work and everyone wants my opinion on it.

[n4p226r 105]

Reporting now 27 people dead. 18 kids. Gun control or not. This is horrible

[njJoniGuy 2,131]

The spirit of Dunblane and Stockton is upon us, I'm afraid

Get what you can NOW while you still can. :wild:

[Caine 147]

27 people now confirmed dead according to channel 2 at 12:38, 14 students.

Fox5 is showing similar numbers... 27 killed - at least 18 are children. At least one person has said it might be an entire classroom. Shooter was supposedly parent of a student.

 

How this went from 1-3 dead to 27 is mindboggling... This went from bad to unimaginable...

[O-gre 7]

I am speechless, 18 children!

[Zeke 5,504]

Dupe

Unfortunately, I think you're right on the money. I can only imagine how extensively lawmakers and the President will dance in the blood of the victims.

[njpilot 671]

Not good, not good.
