This morning at around 9am there was a shooting in Connecticut at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The school hosts kindergarten-grade 4. A 20 year old gunman walked into a classroom where his mom worked as a teacher and opened fire, killing her and firing at 18 other students before continuing his spree and then killing himself in the school. The death toll currently stands at 27 lives lost, this number including 18 children.

I am not a person of faith, but I have them in my thoughts, and perhaps you would like to keep them in your thoughts and send your own individual well wishes the way of these parents who do not get to put Christmas presents under the tree for their children this year.

Such a tragedy and it truly breaks my heart.

So sad...
All innocent lives.

This is hard for me to even bring myself to comment on! I just dont get it!!!!! How can someone be so disturbed to take the lives of anyone let alone children. IMO children are the only innocent things in this world. I have three children that are in school and this scares me to death. I know that its not really common especiallyin Elementary schools but you hear of it more and more as the years go by! Keeping all of those that were affected directly and indirectly in my thoughts
