I know situations like this there is no way to prepare for but anything we can do as parents or as adults to protect our young ones we must try to do so... My prayers go out to all the families of the children and other people who lost their lives today...

Moderator cut: Please take the gun control debate to the appropriate thread. Politics & Other Controversies is the appropriate forum for a national debate on the issue. Thank you

Like everyone else I'm totally stunned by this shooting. Prayers to the families who lost people and to the kids who survived it. They need all the love, compasiion, and help that they can get. I can't imagine being in grade school and seeing my friends murdered in the classroom.

I saw the President talking on it for a few minutes on TV and I've never seen him so shaken and upset. He looked like he was going to cry and had to stop himself a few times for a few seconds to regain his composure. All politics aside, it was obvious he felt the way we all do.

Couldn't have said it any better myself... And i'll be responding to that person right after I thank you for pointing it out... I still continue to be amazed by the lack of compassion of some posters...

In the CT thread, they're not debating guns. Have some respect people.

Autistic people are not violent unless backed into a corner , or a sensory overload occurs , load noises are a sensory issue for us....so I doubt he had autism. He probably had a personality disorder which tends to make people violent....and paranoid....
