Article from CNN.

Children and adults gunned down in Connecticut school massacre – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs

I just saw this on the television. What a tradgedy. Article says 20 killed.

Newtown is 25 minutes from where I live. My thoughts and prayers to those family and friends who have loved ones that were killed and those who are traimatized.

[2BNTV]

Reporting that at the least, 10 children are dead.

'Close to 20' dead in Connecticut school shooting, source says - CNN.com

This is sickening to me. I'm at a loss for words.

NY papers say 18 children, 7 teachers are dead. So sad to take the children. What is this world coming to? I could not imagine getting a phone call like that and telling my my kid was not coming home.

[jebartle]

My prayers to all of the families....Just so so sad, these families anticipating the thrills of Christmas with their loved ones, only to discover that their sweet child is gone....Oh, I just want to cry....What is going on in this world!...How can we isolate these NUTS before they do real harm???

[Tom Hannon]

Glad SWAT killed the ******* before we waste tons of money for a trial and the time to rehab this devil.

Daily News article -27 Dead - 18 Children

I feel like crying.

18 children among 27 dead in Conn. school shootings

I saw that on the AOL News. Horrible. Not sure if there is any kind of solution to these kind of tragedies. Cannot really do away with guns. Just look at how well Prohibition worked with getting rid of alcohol? They seemed to make booze even more prevalent in certain sections of society by outlawing it. http://history1900s.about.com/od/191...hamendment.htm

Prayers for those whose lives have changed or been lost because of this.

My wife told me about this when I came home from golf earlier. Can not put into words how we feel for those that are suffering and also hope that none of our friends living in that area of CT have suffered any loses.

I too lived 25 minutes to Newtown. In fact, we boarded our horse there for several years. For the life of me, I cannot imagine a less likely place for such unimaginable violence. I am heartbroken for all in Newtown, Fairfield County.... the country. What is happening to people?

[janmcn]

My heart is breaking for these families in Newtown, CT. Sickening. Unimaginable.

If these young men, like the shooter, want to take their own lives, let them sit in their cars and blow their miserable brains out...don't take all these innocent people with you.

[graciegirl]

Just returned from Golf to hear this horrible news.

[Golfingnut]

So horrible.

First of all I am sick to my stomach over this unspeakable act. We are praying for these children, teachers, police, EMTs, and others who were caught in today's hellish act.

The innocents pay the price for selfish, self centered, violent individuals who prolifirate in today's society.

I have already seen posts blaming guns. Its not the guns, its endemic of a society where there are little consequesces for ones's anti-social actions. We see it all the time; no discipline, no punishment and no being "responsible for one's actions!.

The slipery slope we allowed to grow has turned into a mud slide!!!

It's time to change or our way of life is done.
