Most things don't bother me....

[mrsjason]

But this CT shooting thing......I am really sad I look at Macy and I get teary eyed. Those poor kids must have been terrified, including the survivors.

There are no words. Those kids/teachers/staff started their day off looking forward to the weekend and the upcoming holiday break. My heart hurts for them

I know, it makes you lose faith in humanity a bit... how can a person be so disgusting as to do that. I don't even know the details but it's horrendous how screwed up someone's mind can be so that they would murder innocent living things.

[sara76]

It is too painful to think about, the thought of losing your elementary age child to the hands of some monster like this. I just pray for the families and cry for the children. The police who have to remove the bodies... oh my god. I have to turn on Disney and Christmas movies.

[mrsjason]

They say the shooter went into a Kindergarten class and opened fire and killed every child in the class

[sara76]

There has to be something we can do to stop this. It can't go on.

[mskateb]

:-( <---that's me. I feel like such a fool sitting here at my desk crying.

This is just unimaginable. The parents, the kids, omg.

This makes me lose faith in humanity a lot. I need to go get my baby.

I agree. It's so sickening! And now it will be all over the media and the gunman will get tons of attention which will make future gunmen get excited for their future shooting spree at a school or shopping mall. Because they all just want their names known. Especially in this media obsessed culture. So sick.

I agree. Unfortunately, I don't think America will ever come to a good compromise with anything that I think will take care of that. I think it would take a mix of better healthcare and making weapons less readily available.

I cannot even imagine. KIndergarten kids are usually so excited to go to school, too. I loved Kindergarten. I still remember my teacher's name.

[sara76]

The new news reports are making it sound like possibly one of the shooters parents is a teacher there.

[amellis2]

So a teacher is the parent of the shooter and (I read) the shooter is the parent of a child?

[sara76]

I didn't hear that the shooter is a parent.

I'm so glad his soul is no longer on this earth.

[amellis2]

Ok, this is what I see from MSN.com: Also, one of the parents of the alleged shooter was found dead this morning at a home in New Jersey.

[tashaandsage]

I can't quit thinking about this. My heart aches. I just can't comprehend how there are people so horrible that exist in this world.

[mrsjenrn]

This is so messed up. It makes me want to hold Zoe in my arms at all times and never let her go. Homeschooling, anyone? Sure, there are shootings elsewhere, but they are mostly done in schools it seems. I don't know what the answer to this is because I honestly don't know much about gun control laws. Making them illegal won't solve the problem because look at how prevalent drug use and other illegal activities are.

[sara76]

It's the people we need to get rid of, not the guns. It's the sick fuckers. Sorry. I know it's too soon to get political and all but at this moment my sadness is feeing a little more like anger.

[mrsjason]

Like, I am not sure if I cried on 9/11.....I probably did but I can't remember......but I have been teary eyed on and off all afternoon with this news story (I hate to use the word "story" because unfortunately it's a reality). But man, those poor children. How do you open fire on 5 year olds? What's next, shooting up a nursery?

Ahh, obviously we will never understand. Mental illness is a serious issue.

[aegis2005]

I've been out, so haven't read anything about this (other than seeing a bunch of stuff on people's FB status) but I suspect I'm going to be a crying mess when I start reading ...

JUST DON'T

[kimandross]

Seeing the president wipe away tears really put me over the edge. I've never been so happy that I have a job I can leave when I want and pick up Q early.

There are a lot of "political" arguments that willl be batted back and forth over the next few days, but for now, I pray that the families and others involved can find whatever peace they can. I can't even imagine.

The shooter went into his MOTHERS classroom (she was K teacher) and shot everyone. And apparently he was a parent going through custody battles.

Some parent.

It doesn't seem like he was a parent. They are saying now he was carrying his brothers id, so that might have something to do with the confusion.

[jen812]

It's just sickening. I can't understand how someone can be that sick to think shooting a K class is the answer.

[aidensmom]

It makes me really sad I can't imagine anything happening to Aiden or my other 18 kids.

[cop]

This happened a mile from my aunt and uncle's house. I've been to Sandy Hook, it's such a small, sleepy community. I really can't imagine what they are going through right now. My heart breaks for the victims and their families.
