That the shooter's name is Ryan ****** (don't want to even write his name). MSNBC stated that the shooter's mother was a teacher there at the school and she is dead. MSNBC also stated tha the shooter's father was found dead in Hoboken. They are backtracking now about a parent dead at the house, but they don't know for sure.

Do not wish hell upon anyone. That, perhaps, is the only unforgivable sin.

As a fairly new parent (1.5 year old) this is just sickening to know how helpless these kids are...they can't even run for christ's sake and don't understand what's happening to hide from it.

But I sure wish one of those teachers had been packing today to take that pussy out.

Twenty-seven dead. Twenty seven families forever ruined. I cannot imagine hearing that news. It's nearly unbearable just to contemplate. Those poor lost souls. Those poor little children...

The kids that survived as well as their parents probably will be traumatized to varying degrees as well.

What level of utter depravity or insanity causes someone to shoot up an elementary school?

I need to go break some shit.

or helpless.

absolutely gut wrenching

I can't even imagine. Glad she's ok.

and he don't know the status of his daughter at the time. Absolutely horrifying.

This is awful.

I feel sick

begin to fathom this.

i know they originally speculated on a second shooter but have since backtracked from that and focused on one 20 year old shooter from NJ. Are they saying they think its back to 2 shooters?

Saying it's a 20 year old from NJ thought to be father of one of students. I'm watching from home because not feeling well as I was on the day of Columbine. Unreal.

...and being led to a police car, wearing camo pants and a black top, saying to the people he was passing, "I didn't do it."

its surreal how these events unfold across news channels and media outlets
I'm sick.

Killed.

Ugh, this is getting crazier. I'm starting to wonder if they need to have mandatory psychological screenings for people.

Someone in their 20's with their life ahead of them not only gets himself killed but kills dozens more including kids leaving their families at a complete and total loss. Not just a selfish act, but an evil one.

The other dead.

Report I'm seeing say 1 child, 2 adults. I hope the report you heard is wrong. Sickening.

My God. Like I said above, my wife's best friend is a second teacher there. So thankful she's safe but this is unreal. Prayers to all those victims. Truly heartwrenching.
