Such a horrible event. I can't hardly breath just thinking about it.
I almost feel like picking up my kids from school early today. Is a sad day for America.
I will hug my girls very tight tonight and pray for those who lost their love ones.

It really takes a special brand of miserable wretched hateful person to take out his/her own hatred of the world on INNOCENT people. It breaks my heart to think that anyone has that kind of malice and hate in them.

Hoping the families with losses will find peace someday...

What sort of a world do we live in when elementary school kids can't even go to school?

That's absolutely horrifying.

18 kids...

There is a second suspect that is fortunally alive. Lets give him to the parents to take care of him...

Unimaginably heartbreaking! I just cannot even fathom.

My heart just aches for the children and adults that lost their lives and also for the survivors. I just don't understand how a person can do such a heinous thing.

I'm utterly devasted by what happened. I had to stop reading the news about this while I was at work because I was literally sitting at my desk crying. I can't imagine the devastation that these parents must feel. I can't even wrap my head around someone hurting these little kids. I saw some of them being interviewed and they're so adorable.

Praying for the families that are experienceing such an unbelievable loss.

When I heard that a relative of the shooter was also found dead, I thought - he probably killed his mother first. And it turns out his mother was a teacher at the school (not sure who the other dead relative is - dad?). Extreme mental illness + guns = tragedy.

President Obama said he reacted to the news as a parent. I'm not a parent, but I think anyone with any humanity is horrified and devastated by this.

I'm speechless. I do not understand WHY someone would murder innocent people...especially children. I understand some parts of mental illness, since depression runs greatly in my family, but I don't understand how people can take their illness out on others. Course depression is a mental illness that is turn inward for the most part.

I just have to think there were warning signs. People need to know, TAKE ALL THINGS SAID, WRITTEN OR DONE SERIOUSLY. If you are wrong the worst that will happen is the person will get help. NOT SAYING ANYTHING will possibly result in something horrific like this. Believe me, I'd rather have a relative or friend HATE ME than to feel the sorrow of knowing I could have done something/should have done something but didn't.

RIP all you innocent ones. God bless the heroes that save the lives that were around them. May there be peace, strength & comfort to all those who mourn. To the authorities who are sorting this out, strength to cope & find answers. May this community, state, country & world one day be a place without heinous crimes like this. God willing.
