Connecticut school shooting

[Fatal Dawn]

Newtown, Connecticut (CNN) -- In one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, a gunman opened fire Friday in a Connecticut elementary school, killing nearly 30 people -- most of them children, a law enforcement official receiving information from the scene told CNN.



At least 10 of the dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School were students, a different law enforcement source familiar with the investigation said. Among the dead were the school's principal and psychologist, according to a parent who was at the school when the incident happened.



The mother of the suspected gunman was also among the dead at the school, a senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told CNN, while the suspect's brother was found dead in a residential location in Hoboken, New Jersey.

I'm in disbelief that someone would target children. This is a disaster.

There was a statistic done on the last 60 mass murders, over twenty of which have occured in last seven years.



Over 80 percent of murderers bought their guns legally.

Over 50 percent killed themselves on site

Most had complaints of mental illnesses prior to the shootings.

These events will probably never cease to puzzle me.

Why did they do it? They gained nothing. Just... death. What's the point if you're going to commit suicide straight after anyway? Terrorists at least have a cause, this is far more dangerous... in the way free-thinking individuals are.

I'm in disbelief that someone would target children.

Why?

Revulsion, sure, but disbelief?





And, last, but certainly not least:

My condolences to the families and friends of the victims.

All 20 children who died in a shooting in Connecticut were aged between six and seven, and appear to have been shot several times, officials say.

Revulsion, sure, but disbelief?

A little bit of both. I personally could not believe someone could be so devilish to kill kids like that. The coroner has even suggested the kids were shot multiple times. Of course, I was in a state of disbelief. I still am. There is a mix of emotions.

Fame. You kill yourself, you get a bit in the local newspaper, and then for the most part you're forgotten. You kill yourself after murdering 30 people, you're infamous.

Just a preemptive note:



It would appear that the Morgan Freeman statement is a case of false attribution.



He has not come out anywhere and verified that he actually said it. It just appeared on an Examiner webpage with his name attached to it.
