This is a very hard topic to write about, the shooting in Connecticut that just recently happened. Reading this article about what happened made my stomach churn and made my eyes water. First, before we delve into everything behind it, I just want to clarify the facts.
The shooter is dead, although nobody knows who killed him. There is no factual evidence yet that there was a second shooter and nobody knows if the shooter shot himself. This took place at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newton. Police officers believe that the shooter might be a father of one of the students attending the school, thought a motive of his is not yet known. This man had two guns and he frightened and took many lives.
There are many loose ends in this case and many facts missing. Not a lot is known about the shooter. But what is very known is the fear of the students. The teachers tried to keep them calm, they are only kindergartners and showed fear at the big bangs. One of the teachers took her students into a bathroom and locked it, trying to keep the students calm. This teacher might have saved their lives and the fact that she could keep calm is amazing. At least 26 people were killed in this shooting, 18 of which were children. The school shut down all the schools in the district to ensure future safety of more children.
Who in their right minds would ever take the life of a young child? Those children had so much more life to live, they had amazing places to go. These children are innocent and probably don't even know much about guns or shooting, yet a gun took their lives. A sick disturbed man took their lives.
