It is just unimaginable. I just heard the news about the Connecticut shooting incident and I just could't believe it. Twenty six people dead because of an unknown reason by the most unlikely individual. Those poor children. It was a story of both tragedy and heroism. The teacher who shielded her students from the gunman and the principal who tried to overtake the gunman to stop him are both heroes in anyone's book. RIP.

The whole world is mourning over the loss of those innocent children. We never wanted anything such as that to happen, and we may never when it will happen. All we can do is pray that we may be always safe, most especially our kids.

it happens because the world is heading in the wrong direction and the stress,pressure and peer factor plays a vital role in influencing kids

I agree. Peer pressure nowadays are sometimes the cause of juvenile crimes. But on this particular incident, I guess family also played an integral part in the suspect's mental destabilization. His parents' divorce might have caused tremendous mental pressure on him and thus making him do that heinous act.
