Guy who killed 20 kids and 5 adults in a kindergarten class.

What I have heard since about 10am this morning is that 20 children where kids 6 where adults including the shooter himself and another man is in custody as possible person that was involved in the shooting. As a mother my hearts are breaking and I pray for those families that have lost such young lives in this world.

Anyone who commits that crime, I am sure, must have been suffering from depression and his mental disorders may be acute. Can you imagine that normal who people are not depressed to shoot a bunch of children in a classroom? What the hell? Those children came to school to study! Even schools are not safe for children anymore. Should the weapon detectors installed at every entrance to the school? My heart goes out for all those innocent little victims.

Hello cessy bear and welcome to myLot. This is just about the most heartbreaking news that I have heard in a very long time. All those poor babies just shot one after the other. and the poor families of those babies after all they are just babies. i don't know how i would handle it even if my own child was not one of those killed. And to know that they had to be kept in the school in the exact same place they were shot just breaks my heart according to the sheriff in Connecticut as they figure out exactly what happened.

I have heard the news on the net. It is too sad. The murder killed his father first, then went to the school to kill his mother and the students in the school. Even he had problems in his family, he had no right to finish other people's lives, especially those children. I hope those kinds of sad things will not happen in the future.

I have not heard the news, but still - how sick you have to be to do that? This guy is so kinky and perverted, I just can't think of such thing as killing people (or even animals). And this crazy "person" killed many people, how can he even think of doing it?! Forget thinking about it, he did it... That's so terrible, horrific, ugly and repulsive. I just don't know what to say... And this insane guy is not the only one. We all have heard of a lot other cases like this one. One person goes insane and kills others... This is inhuman... I hope the families of the victims get better soon. I also hope that mankind will not witness such evil again. My sincere condolences to the bereaved.

oh no no no, no long words to say, lot's of horrible things are happening these days, disasters, wars, hunger, poverty, cruelness and being so evil, truly indeed satan is now dooming the world, guys let's get back to God, just follow him and keep on worshipping him, remember the song from Michael Jackson? that song also relates to what is happening to the world right now "Heal the world make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human races", make a better place for you and for me. ^ ^

No one who does something like this can have a good reason there is no reason for them doing something like this. They are just crazy and horrible. I am so sickened by what has happened. It makes me think about what if this happened at my kids school. There isnt enough protection in our schools. All schools need to have metal detectors. Things like this happened when I was in high school and metal detectors were discussed around the country but nothing ever happened. Its like these tragic things happen and then soon after people forget and go back to their lives and then this stuff keeps happening. Those poor families this tragic even happened to. Those children will never grow up and get married and have children of their own. I cant stand thinking about it. Its so heart breaking.

I saw an explanation on another site that made sense to me. He said that such shooters feel unnoticed and perhaps misunderstood. They read in the newspaper and see all the coverage those kinds of shooters receive, how people try to figure out what the shooter had been thinking. Then, they think that they can do the same and go out in a blaze of glory.

Cessy, that's really an insane act. It is really heart broken to heard this news through online on that day, where innocent children and adults are being killed. It is more sad to see those parents who had loss their loved ones in that school. No one ever thought that going to school nowadays seems very risky as well. Hope the local authorities will comes up with a much tighter security.

There is so much loss in this tragic situation. how could it have escaleted into the massacre it became. there are just no words to complete the thoughts that rummage through our heads over the plight of these poor lost children,

The facts are as follows: His name is Adam Lanza, and he was 20 years old. He first killed his mother at their home, then drove her car to the school and entered a couple of classrooms and shot 20 children ages 5 to 10 years old, and somewhere along the line, 6 adults before killing himself. The identification he had on him stated he was Ryan Lanza, which is his brother. His brother was taken into custody to be questioned, but he is not a suspect nor is he suspected of being involved. The latest update states that the victims were shot at close range, and multiple times. I also heard that the people of Newton are taking down their Christmas decorations...and, somehow, that does seem appropriate.

I cannot begin to imagine the pain it has caused the parents and relatives of those poor victims, in fact I can't even contain the rush of emotion I felt while reading on the news I got carried away and shed tears. What is happening nowadays?

It is horrible and terrible. They are real victims. Heaven awaits them this time. The guy must be mentally ill. It is a work of evil. We really have to pray for them and their families.

I am so heart broken as well. I know that it will affect those families for life. And also those families whose children survive. I am also praying for comfort and peace. Perhaps we need more security at our schools. We need to seriously study what it takes to end these school shootings. Children should be able to go to school in safety and security. I am praying for comfort.

I never heard this news, but thanks anyway. I was shocked! Imagine? 20kids? I think the killer was experiencing unpleasant mentality. This is not a normal move. But let's just pray for the victims.
