I know this news has caused my heart to sink into my chest, to were it is hard to breath, when I think about it.

At least 10 children killed.   Sick individual.

NEWTOWN—

Twenty-seven people, including 18 children, have been killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, according to the Associated Press.

I withdraw from the world. A sick place.

I wonder what would prompt a 24 year old to do something like this.

I heard a 20-year old.  I know they are still putting some of the pieces together.....I think a case for teachers, who are willing, should be able to pack heat...perhaps some could have been saved.

Yes, it's being reported as. 20-year old who had some ties to the school.

I now hear a second man has been taken into custody

[Locutus]

Shooter identified as Ryan Lanza and his younger brother is being questioned.

   I need to spend some serious time in my treehouse. I imagined it into existence when I was a girl living in a very small house with my parents and 4 sisters and sometimes a cousin or two. All I had to do was close my eyes  and there I was -- in my own private place high in a tree on the edge of a field, listening to the sound of rain, shutting out the rest of the world. 

[Locutus]

Second crime scene in the town.  An adult is dead there.

Two more children have died at the hospital.  Now 20 dead children.

They (news) are confusing the two brothers; one suspected of being compliant in the shooting and the other being the shooter. I heard (unconfirmed) that the mother was a teacher at the school and she is the body discovered at the shooters residence.

And for the record, this is breaking my heart in two. 20 families lost a child today, and 20 lives that this morning held the promise, hopes, and dreams of a long future were snuffed just a few hours later.

I hate the world this day.
