27 Dead in Conn School shooting
Dreadful breaking news.
Maybe 14 students among the dead.

This is beyond awful.

I just heard 19 students and 8 adults, dead. What kind of sick individual targets women and children. This is just sickening.

Horrible news. I was just saying the other day after the OR shooting, that this is just going to keep getting worse. I have my reasons why i think that, and it has nothing to do with guns or access to guns. Prayers to the community during this tragic time.

I just spent about 30 minutes sampling information about the shooting. I looked at web sites, listened to 1 local radio station and viewed 2 national network's news reporting.
What passes for reporting and journalism just sucks. Inuendo, extrapolation, idle speculation and very little clear delineation of what is known and what is not known. There are even instances of being told what the authorities are doing when the authorities have not said what exactly they are doing. One reporter even stated that search warrents were being obtained so they could go to the school.
They're trying hard but sometimes it is best to say less or nothing at all.

They are not "trying hard"...IMO.
They are trying to beat others to the story...and they release things before they become fully varified.
It may be a harmless practice in minor cases...but not when it involves something like this...

I'm in Portland... right near the Clackamas Mall where a 22-year old murdered two people this week. He ran into the mall carrying an AR-15, wearing a hockey mask. He began shooting at random near the Food Court while Christmas music played in the background....
His AR-15 jammed... Cops were there in a flash so he took off running. Committed suicide in a stair well. We were VERY lucky the death toll wasn't much much higher.

Supposedly. one other is in custody, 20 years old.
I have this sick feeling that these violent video games influence these whack jobs.

Yes, that race to be first is always a part of it.
NBC just corrected one item: the shooter's mother was a worker at the school and apparently was one of the many shot and killed. Before, they had reported she was found dead in her home in New Jersey.
I have yet to hear of any FBI involvement.
