So many what ifs that are now gone.

This makes me want to cry.

Words fail me ... been holding my 5 year old extra tight tonight.

I can't imagine the hell those families are going through. Although I know there isn't, I wish there was some way to give them some relief from there pain. Prayers & thoughts are all I have to offer.

so horrible, words can't even describe

Just heard that the guns were registered to the shooter's mother. No link yet.

If I had guns in my house, I'd keep them locked up in a safe and hidden. Can't trust anyone. No need to have an assault weapon laying around.

Really sad and tragic. Let us remember those that lost loved ones and not these jerks that did the shooting. As such a tragic day not just in CT but in the USA! Parents will have not just a miserable holiday season this year, but for all seasons to come!

It is painful to think their tiny bodies are still in there.

I'm so sad about this.

The United States averages 9 gun deaths per 100,000 people per year. Canada averages 4.78. France averages 3. Australia, 2.94. Norway, 1.78. Greece, 1.50. Germany, 1.10. Spain, 0.63. The Netherlands, 0.46. United Kingdom, 0.22. Japan, 0.07.

If you think it is impossible for gun control laws to work, then you must believe we are more violent than the people of all of these nations. That is the wrong kind of exceptional.

According to the reports, his brother being questioned said he hadn't talked to his brother in years. That says to me that something is wrong with that family structure that they don't even communicate.

Official: Gunman's NJ brother cooperating - Yahoo! News


Where they abused? Did he just snap? Did he have mental problems all along and it was just passed off as "different or unique"? It really is hard to tell, but you would have to have some incredible hate in your heart to kill your own family.

I know he was autistic. I know autistics that are just not capable of this, but they are reporting it as if he may have had a severe case. So ****ing terrible. My daughter is in kindergarten and my wife is her art teacher. I have always said there should be armed security gaurds and or metal detectors at every school. It is way to easy to walk rite into a school. I am praying for every victims parents, family , and friends. Cannot and do not want to imagine where their heads are ag rite now. I also find myself wondering why his mothers weapons were not securely locked up. From what im hearing he was obsessed witb guns. His mom was a kindergarten teacher but was not at school today. God bless all of our children tonite. Hug the shit out of them tomorrow.

Wow, very sad. He must have been very high functioning. They see the world very differently then normal people.

I don't think the VAST majority of the autistic population is capable of this. I just ask that everyone please tries their hardest not to jump to conclusions, especially as in regards to a topic as potentially personal as autism. And that's not to say you said anything wrong or insensitive or anything, I just hope people don't start blaming this evil act on autism.

Where's it say he was autistic? All I've seen is that he had a personality disorder, but hasn't been identified by name.

Oh God no. Just pointing out that I heard that. Every individual is different , autistic or not. @Rave - the initial reports were that he had autism, i heard it on tv.
Edit: initially they were saying the shooters mother was a teacher at the school too.

True. I just read that they're speculating he had highly functioning Aspergers. Which is essentially autism.

It'll be a mess for another few days while they get everything figured out.

My nephew has a very mild "form or case" of aspergers. Again every individual is different. Not sure how he got his hands on the guns in the first place but i know if i had guns there is no way my children would have anyway to get them. That is what gun cases are for. You dont just leave a key laying around. Im hearing now the mother was a doomsday prepper?
