Unbelievably Tragic

From the Danbuy News Times: 

State police said 26 people including 20 children were massacred in a bloodbath at Sandy Hook Elementary School Friday morning by a lone gunman.

The gunman is also dead, bringing the total dead at the school to 27, state police have confirmed. A second crime scene has been established at a Newtown home, where a body was found after the shooting.

There are conflicting reports on who the shooter was.

The Associated Press has identified the shooter as 20-year-old Adam Lanza.

CNN originally identified the shooter as Adam Lanza's brother, Ryan Lanza, 24, a Hoboken, N.J. resident. The AP said Ryan Lanza is being questioned by police in the investigation.

A Facebook page belonging to Ryan Lanza, a former Newtown resident who lived in Hoboken, N.J. who studied at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, has been taken down. Before it was deleted, Ryan Lanza posted on the page and said he wasn't the shooter.

State police haven't released the shooter's name.

Police in Sandy Hook are at a house on Yogananda Street and have surrounded it with yellow tape. The house is owned by Lanza's mother, Nancy, according to public records. Sources said Nancy Lanza, was a teacher at Sandy Hook School.

This story, as it is unfolding is going to be strange and there will be a lot of finger pointing in a lot of different directions.  The finger pointing can come another day.

Right now, many families are in shock and are grieving.  They sent their children off to school and 22 of those kids will never be coming home… ever.

And another 7 adults left their families and went to work or to the school on business, never to go home again.

Finally, you have dozens of children who witnessed, saw the aftermath or knew somebody who was killed and their lives will never be the same.

These are the stories we should concentrate on, not if an assault weapon was used, if there should be tighter gun laws or if teachers should be armed or if the shooter was a liberal or a conservative and listened to Rush Limbaugh or Rachel Maddow or listened to rap or heavy metal music.   Those stories will come out later.  Please, just offer up some prayers or thoughts for the little ones and the adults.
