    Pennsylvania School Shooting :(

    I don't know if this needs to be in the Doghouse or not. I am just posting this because I was really saddened by the news about the 32-year-old husband and father of two (or three, I can't remember for sure) who walked into an Amish one room schoolhouse this morning and ordered all the boys and the teachers out of the building, so that he could barricade the doors and tie up the little girls that were in the school. He killed three girls (I think one was a teacher's aid, but, still just a teen, maybe sixteen) execution style by standing them in front of the chalkboard. He then killed himself. I am horrified by this, and, wanted to ask that maybe we could pray for the families and the community affected by this and especially for the families of the victims (those who have died, and those who are injured) and for the family of the shooter. Please forgive me if this is considered offensive or questionable and needs to be in the doghouse. I didn't think it needed to be, but, Karen, please move it if it should be.

    I saw that on the news at noon. Its so very sad for everyone involved. This is the third school shooting in a week. There was one here in Colorado last week, then a 15 year old shot his principal I forget what state that happened in. Now this. What is going on in the world anymore? My thought and prayers are with everyone this has happend to.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    This is so sad!!!
    Fox news just said that 6 have been killed. I don't know if that includes the shooter or not. He left a note and it is supposed to be revenge for something that happened to him 20 years ago. Those poor children weren't even alive then!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    That means that the girls in critical condition didn't make it.

    Yes, How sad. I was watching the news during the first official police report. apparently he killed three girls, injured 6 or 7 more (3 were shot in the head and are super-critical). He killed himself, too. apparently this was some kind of revenge by him for something that happened twenty years ago, but no one seems to know what.
    The guy walked his own children to the schoolbus stop this morning, then went and did this. His poor wife, she had no idea. Came home and found suicide notes. Then he called her while he was in the school to say he wouldn't be coming home again.
    They are all in my prayers. So much sadness for everyone.

    I don't understand why people are so sick, I seriously don't. This was a quiet community that was so nice. The people kept to themselves and they never bothered anyone. I don't understand why people do this. I'm sick of watching the news, I really got to learn not to.

    This brings it up to 4 school shootings in 2 weeks.

    1 in Montreal, Canada
    1 in Colorado, US
    1 in Wisconsin, US
    1 in Pennsylvania, US

    Is this becoming some kind of psychological trend now?

    Its been on our news all afternoon. It happened less than 45 minutes from here. Scary. I feel just awful for the families of the victims -- including his own family. They are victims too. How will those kdis be able to ever return to school with all the parents, teachers, students all whispering that their father is a crazed murderer?

    Fox news has changed the number of killed to 4 including the shooter. But 8 are in critical condition at the hospital.

    The thing that haunts me is how terrified those children had to be before they were shot.

    Our news just said 5 were killed, 7 are in critical condition; all girls were shot. Ages are from 6-13.
