This type of scenario is happening all too often. Colorado, Wisconsin, Oregon...etc. This seems to be the new wave of what to do. Prayers and thoughts to those families involved.

Carry everyday, carry everywhere, don't be a sheep.
I know this was a school, but carry at the mall, church, restaurants, public parks, barber shop, car wash, super market, movies and car.
Watch for the "NO GUNS ALLOWED" signs, so you, the "law abiding citizen" don't get into trouble with the law.

Teaching moral relevancy and doing away with any real morals and accountability in this country are the issue. After all, it's all about ME right? Did I mention ME? What about ME? Let's talk about ME........
We have not begun to see the price we'll pay for turning from God and absolute morals.
You want to see the end result of moral relativism, take a look at Stalin and Hitler.
I will pray for this Country and the people affected by this tragedy as well.

"Watch for the "NO GUNS ALLOWED" signs"
Yes do that, because we all know the shooters will too. Right?
This is what happens when a Country like our turns it's face from God. Our society is circling the drain folks. My prayers go to all that are affected by this horrible incident. But honestly I only see more of this for our future until we repent as a whole in this Country. Just take a look at all the other great societies throughout history. When they turned away from their moral compass they all fell. We are on that road. Our only chance is to turn back to God.

Horrible
For the poster who said things lime this didnt happen in the 50s.
In 1764 4 Indians walked into a school killed the schoolmaster and 9 children. What is now Greencastle Pa.
1927 Bath Mich. 45 killed 38 were school children when a disgruntled employee set of home made bombs.
Its not about liberals or conservatives or video gamers or the era. There have been evil people throughout history and will continue.

The anti gun groups will blame guns. And they will miss the boat again.
Video games and drugs!
Long ago, there were professionals watching sadly, as the video game industry began making big money selling games where the player is shooting other humans. Games aimed at children. They warned that monsters would be raised by them.
Long ago now putting a rating system and age limit on Hollywood movies was considered prudent. All that happened was it encouraged kids to watch that movie. Sometimes more than average monsters were raised.
Now more and bigger monsters are being raised by violent video games as doctors experiment with the right drugs for children. Sure they have various hyperactivity disorders. They are forced to sit most of the day. Schools are built with higher windows so they will not look out.
We have societies for protection of animals. Lets start a society for protection of children's minds.

Yes evil and good have been at battle for all time.
I know what I think! But will keep my mouth shut for some time, let the facts come out, etc.
How I feel is simular too 9/11. Sick! Mad! Greaving for all that lost someone today.
Lets wait a few days before talking about what could happen from this. OK ???

My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families, this is a vicious horrific crime, what can cause a young man to do such a thing.
How can a mind go so wrong. I wish there were answers to these questions that would help to prevent this type of thing from happening.
More gun laws are not going to prevent this, taking guns away from law abiding citizens is not going to stop this. It is going to make it worse if anything. If there had been one or two armed teachers in that school this might have been stopped sooner and lives saved. No disrespect intended but the police cannot protect us, in most cases they get there in time to make out a report after the damage has been done. Its not their fault, there just isn't enough law enforcement officers on duty at all times. You have to be able to protect yourself and your family.
Lord take these little children into heaven and help the surviving little children to get through this horrific time in their young lives.
God Bless all the children and their families.

Report is that the Ct shooter was autistic, somewheres on the Asberger spectrum.
Loughner, who shot Congresswoman Giffords and others, the Colorado theater shooter, and now Ct. All diagnosed with mental illness or disabilities, but allowed to walk among us.

More sickening is CNN interviewing the kids on the incident.
I'll take spin over sick reporters.

Aspergers isnt exactly a disability. its sort of a trade off.
they generally have little to no social skills yet, have IQ's somewhere in the stratosphere.
Normally rules are their world, to which they adhere stringently.
At some point, this one came to see everyone else as Soylent Green and conjured a new rule in which to deviate from his stringent protocol on an exception.
I know one such kid, he's all of 8 years old, and has composed what is, at least, (and a good bit more) the framework of a symphony.

I didn't say it didn't happen - I meant we didn't have this where a new one happens every other week and the media gives it 24 hour coverage and gives the next nutball the idea that it's something he should do, too.
And that you had to go back to 1764 and use a frontier Indian massacre and a case from 1927 as your 'proof' that society hasn't fallen like a rock in a rain barrel and getting progressively worse is pathetically weak.

Let's skip the politics and the political observations on this one. Both sides, tell it to your dog if you can't hold it in.
There has never been easy solutions to a problem like this but we all have opinions. Why can banks afford to pay an armed guard all day but not schools.
My wife has been in the education business for many years, first a teacher then a principle and now a superintendant.
My thought is to make the principal or vice principal armed and trained in self defense as a job requirement. My wife agrees.

Prayers prayers and more prayers. Are there enough at times like this? Is it even possible?
Families who have lost children, maybe multiple children. We have a dead husband, wife, and son apparently, no doubt with a family. We have the cops, EMS providers, and other first responders-some likely who will never be able to recover from what they saw today.
An entire small town, from what I see for demographics online, I would venture a guess that pretty much every soul in the town will know either a victim or the family of at least 1of them.
Yes the grabbers will come, can you blame them really? But thats for another day.

I understand the temptation to use such a tragedy for confirmation of one's own societal, political, religious, moral beliefs and notions, and to lash out at those who might not agree. But for today I think I'll just offer my prayers for the victims and leave it at that.

Not everyone is capable of it mentally. I think you're close to one possible means by which to try and stop these attacks. It should not be up to just one person though. According to the press reports earlier today, the principal was the first one shot this morning.
It's a generation of uncaring, unfeeling, sociopaths. Banning guns, "assault" rifles or other firearms is not the answer. The shooting in Colorado was in a "gun free" zone. In CT schools are "gun free" zones. We've got to stop this idiotic BS and allow people to defend themselves and not just serve as targets for any pschopath that comes along.

I heard one story that said the brother of the shooter claimed he had a "history of mental illness".

This is to true...
These things extract a heavy toll on those involved, and can for years to come.
I understand AMR ambulances were these to take away victims. Thats got to be tough, I cant quite think about doing it.
The police that need to document everything...
I know they are professionals, but they are people too.
