BUMP GreyPanther, so tragic.    Unfortunately this will be blamed on the firearms, not the shooter, I suspect.  12/14/2012 1440 hrs. CST

This is a national tragedy, but it's always even more personal when it happens in your own state. Thoughts and prayers go out to the families of this. My uncle is a police officer in nearby Fairfield, I haven't heard from him all day and I suspect he was called over to help. All killings are tragedies, but when children are involved it's even worse.

‎"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of disaster, I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world." -- Fred Rogers

Unspeakable tragedy.

(I was trying to think of a way to get there and offer my volunteer help with anything.)

I am so sorry for everyone involved in this tragedy. I saw some of the faces of the kids leaving the school. It was horrific. It will be forever burned in my brain. Prayers for all the sweet angels and innocent people. 

I truly believe we need metal detectors and armed law enforcement at every school. We need to put our taxes to good use and protect our children. The world has truly come to just that.

    Another sad day in America. Once again the unthinkable has happened. My thoughts and prayers are with the families in the City of Newtown Ct.

    Tonight please say a prayer for the victims and there familes, the teachers, and the first responders. Tonight hug your kids a little tighter.

I can't even fathom the unexplicable pain these families must feel, as well as the Law Enforcement and First Repsponders that are involved in helping out and investigating this terrible event; prayers will be said for all.  How do you move on after something like this happens to your family?  How does the Officer or the Teacher or the child, who have witnessed such a crime, cope?  I pray for them, that they maintain their strength.

Such bravery from the Teachers who did a great job in staying calm to protect the children and keep them safe. 

For those who have passed away, may God take you in his hands now.  Rest in Peace

Such a sad day in America.

After hearing this news earlier today,  it put  a knot in  my stomach.  As a mom,  I'm very upset and even nausiated over the loss of these 20 YOUNG CHILDREN, and 6 ADULTS!  

My heart aches for these families. Maybe it's become a time we critique MORE  ways to prevent the mentally unstable from EASILY obtaining a weapon. Wouldn't a reasonable gun owner with a deranged son have her 3 weapons in a secure lock box?????  I don't Understand ??

I feel so helpless.  I so wish our PL family can DO SOMETHING to console these poor victims families, anything????

GOD BLESS THE BRAVE TEACHERS that saved lives, and the LEO's that are still tasked with viewing the bodies of the slain(10:30 am). But most of all the families of the victims will be in my thoughts and prayers.

"When a child dies, an angel comes down from heaven, takes the child in its arms and spreading out its large white wings visits all the places that had been particularly dear to the child. From the best loved place the angel gathers a handful of flowers, flying up again to heaven with them. Here they bloom more beautiful than on earth, but the flower which is most loved receives a voice so that it can join the song of the chorus of bliss."

I have no words.

I'm sure every LEO on here has had the same thought going through their head all day..... "I wish I could have been there."

Rest in peace little ones.

 

Yes, and probably many civilians wish they were there to take out the gunman before he had the chance to take lives.

Bump to Freezerburn no words can express the saddness enveloping this Country.

With everything we have been through in our lives, as children we never ever had to think, "A bad man might come into school and kill us today."  This was a massacre of lives.  This was a massacre of innocence.  It's too much.  It's all just too much.

This is just so sad, my heart goes out to all involved.
