Seattle Schools Community Forum: Eighteen Children Dead in Conn. School Shooting

Seattle Schools Community Forum: Eighteen Children Dead in Conn. School Shooting:


Eighteen Children Dead in Conn. School Shooting

I heard about this story early this morning before there are many details.  I had assumed it was not serious.

A man with a gun has shot and killed 27 people, 18 of them children, at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.  Allegedly, the killer went after his mother, a teacher, and then killed 18 students in her classroom.  He also shot seven other adults.

From the NY Times:

A photograph published by a local newspaper, The Newtown Bee, showed a line of children being escorted out of the school with some of the children crying. 

This is BULLSHIT.

Folks, what kind of country do we live in that we are accepting of this kind of thing, month after month, year after year?  What is is going to take until citizens - across the country, across political lines - say NO MORE?
