Unreal. Just a shame...

Twenty-seven people, including 18 children are believed to be dead when a gunman opened fire at a Connecticut elementary school.

Really trying here, guys...

This is just a total tragedy. Heaviest thing to do in this world is to bury your own child. I wouldn't even wish that on my worst enemy. Total tragedy... but they will keep happening.

Now instead of self-suicide people have to bring a few dozen other people into their problems. Sad.

My son and daughter are both highschool teachers here in Ontario and I fear for their safety every day.

My daughter had her life threatened last year by a troubled student who, even though he has a lot of problems, agreed to coach on the cross-country team. A at meet he became very destructive and had to be driven home separately from the rest of the team because of his very destructive behaviour. When a meeting was called at the school to discuss it, she was not even invited to attend the meeting and found out about it afterwards. He falsely blamed it on the other students and of course his pschologist believed him ( yes he has his own pschologist). It was only one of his many episodes.

This year she said that she did not want him on the team. When she takes the team to competitions ( 20+ students she is lucky to have one other staff accompany her ) she is obviously responsible for all the students. The school's stance was "Well this is a new school year so the slate is wiped clean."

I would think a death threat by a student would have been taken more seriously. Every time I hear of something like what happened today in Newtown, CT, I cringe.

It is just crazy how people lose their minds and destroy the lives of others. unecessary.

The loss of innocence always saddens me, to think of what those children went through.

Of course, it gets worse...

[Updated at 1:57 p.m. ET] The death toll is closer to 30 than 20, a federal law enforcement source in Washington told CNN's John King. Most of those killed are children, the source said.

The source also said the suspected gunman, who is dead, had a connection to the school. He would not elaborate on that connection. The source is in touch with authorities on the scene.
