It is now.....someone must have pointed it out to them When I posted that there was another big story about Susan Rice and the Newtown tragedy was a small blurb at the bottom of the page.

Anyway, saw one report that the dead gunman is the father of a student there, they are also now confirming (again without identification) 2 adults dead though some news sites are also saying "several children". And it appears to be a kindergarten classroom.

From the other side of the country, my prayers and thoughts go out to the people and families in Newton. It's a horrible, horrible tragedy. Please know that we are all 'with' you in this dark, horrible time.

You guys are definitely in my thoughts as well .... just heart stopping tragic and I'm at a loss how to express my disdain about this and still retain posting rights here.........

Just absolutely horrible and it sounds like things are only going to feel worse as more information develops

Opening fire in a kindergarten classroom - who acts like this?

In a way, I wish the media would just not cover stories like this. Whenever these things happen, the perpetrators are usually looking for a chance to get attention so they engage in horrible behavior like this, knowing the world press will decend on them, and it only makes copycat incident all the more enticing.

In the meantime, all we can do is extend sympathies and condolences to the families. I really don't know whether to feel saddened or appalled by something this evil.
