School shooting- warning children and death mentioned
If you have turned on the news at all I'm sure you've seen this but there has been another school shooting. This time it was at an elementary school, K-4. So far the reports are 26 dead, 6 adults and 20 children.
I am so sick to my stomach right now and my heart is broken. There were instant tears the minute I turned the tv on. O just kept asking "what happened, mama?" All I could say some kids got hurt because you can't even explain something like that to a 2 year old. I can't even imagine being one of those parents waiting to see if their children were alright. I just can't... This is so completely and horribly awful that I just want to hold O & G tight and never let them go.
I know all the children, the staff and their families will be in my T&P for a long time.
ETA: They just did a press briefing and had a different # of kids/adults. 
Changed above.

This is absolutely awful and heartbreaking. I am sick to my stomach about this and feel like I'm not going to be able to function through my last class of today. Awful.
I am friends with RyeCatcher on facebook, and she is from this town. Her little Holden's school is on lock-down, but he's safe, thank goodness, and she'll be able to pick him up once the lock-down is lifted. I can't imagine being away from Miles if something like this went down in my town!
Ugh, I would go crazy if I couldn't get to my kids after something like this. I don't know how she is staying sane.

Ive been following this too and I can't stop crying. I was a teacher and I can only imagine the horror from both the perspectives of the parents and the people in the school.
So horrible. Just awful.
Wow, T&P to Rye Catcher. Even if H is fine, I am sure she is scared.
My CWs keep talking about it, but I am a crier when I think or talk about sad stuff related to kids, so I am trying not to talk about it because I don't want to start tearing up.
This is all over the news here as well! I get chocked about this! In the last 5 years I can actually NOT tell how many child-related massacres I have heard about in the news! What happened in the 10-16 years since I attended Elementary School? And what makes these 20-35 year old snap? My biggest concern during school was if I could go home with my BFF and if we had pizza for dinner! I cant imagine how it must be to send kids to school in this environment!
I can't focus. I have so much to do and all I want is to go get my babies. heart hurts.
Oh my god...
This. Literally a worst nightmare for a parent. They're KIDS! I don't even know what to say.
Absolutely heart breaking. You must be seriously demented to do something so horrific. There are just no words to describe how I feel. Those poor children, teachers, their families. ugh...sickening!
When I first read the story, it only said the shooter was killed...I was unaware that this monster killed so many others until I read your story. Unbelievable.
This. I feel sad and numb reading this story. This makes me want to keep Ava home and home school her.
I've been watching since noon. I need to turn it off and walk away for a while too. It just keeps getting worse and more disturbing the longer I watch.

I agree. It's bad enough when it's high schoolers, but KINDERGARTNERS?? Oh my God. And your own mother?? Jesus. I seriously feel ill just thinking about this. Mason is almost 4... it's way too close to his age that it is just making me sick.
I have been in tears on and off all day for my fellow New Englanders who are suffering. I know someone who lives in there but luckily for them their kids are a bit older and therefore not in that school.
I can't even begin to imaging how these people will ever cope. This is unimaginably horrible. I think of how scared those kids must've been and the gifts under the trees that will never be opened and I just start crying for all of them.
I have never felt more blessed to pick up my daughter at the end of the day. You could tell most of the parents had been crying.
Yup...the triplets are 4 1/2 I already didn't want to start kindy next yera, now I really don't want to. This is the kind of thing you never move beyond, those poor kids, their parents...and the survivors. The whole nation is reeling right along with them.
I was completely offline (tv & computer) today & didn't know about this until I saw this post as I logged on to catch up with things tonight, and obviously the story is all over. I am in disbelief. My mind just keeps asking "why?" over & over. I can't even get past the "why?" of this.
T&Ps to RyeCatcher. How scary. I'm glad her baby H is safe.
