A gunman at the centre of a school shooting in Newtown, Conn., has been killed, according to an official with knowledge of the situation.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way, says the man apparently had two guns.

Now they are saying at least one child has died... What kind of person harms a child...

Add this news to the one about the guy that shot his room mate over a Porkchop.
At what point can do we start actually believing Guns are a serious problem?

About the time folks consider knives a problem in China. Or anywhere for that matter.

guns are not the problem... People are the damn problem.

I understand your point but it takes much longer to kill a room full of people with a knife than it does to shoot a room full.

I know realize that this may not be the right place to bring this up.
Sorry folks.

Ill just say this. food for though. A man stabbed 22 children and 1 adult in village of Chengping in Henan province of China today(their time zone, of course). The article I read did not report fatalities in this instance, but it could easily be there was some, and it does go to show its the what form the weapon takes, but this user who wields it int he wrong application. I will leave it at that, there's mourning and sorting out to be done right now.

could be up to a dozen people shot... 7 agents from the ATF are there also. Is this normal?

 

[HennessyRob]

OMG......atleast 20 children shot.

Really? Driving a car into a building with explosives couldn't do this? If idiots want to make a statement like this they will find a way.

 

[Rickboy]

Oh God No.... CNN says minimum 10 children dead...

People have access to cars and explosives now, why aren't they doing this if it's such a good option?
