    Does this sum up what occurred or am I missing something?
    - shooter was 20 years old
    - shooter killed his mom with her guns
    - shooter took 3 guns (2 handguns and rifle) all registered to mom
    - shooters breaks into school where mom was a sub
    - shooter gets into argument with principal and shoots principals
    - shooter then goes into classroom and shoots teacher
    - shooter then begins to shoot students and anyone else he sees
    - shooter kills himself with handgun
    - shooter left rifle inside car it was never used
    - in ny it's illegal to own a handgun under age 21
    - in ny its illegal to take a gun to school
    - in ny it's illegal to kill
    - shooter was very smart per his friends but a loner within the past few years

    So am I missing anything?


    One thing missed...interview with woman who knew the mom an son, her son was friends with him.....at least use to be. Woman said as kid the shooter wasn't right mentally, not at all. She said the mother came off to her as being very strict, not abusive but overly strict.

    This same thing played out in my hometown, kid not right in the head an parents got him a .22 pistol at age 12....he thought they were to strict and shot them, killed his dad an mom was paralyzed....I knew the kid, like a grade under me...was not right at all. And parents really failed in not seeing and understanding this.

    Report shows the rifle was in the car. :dunno:


    Turn on any news channel, Medical Examiner is giving a briefing and just stated "All fatal wounds I observed on the victims were rifle rounds, .223" He then went on to describe how the .223 transfers energy to the body, and how he was able to ID what rounds hit the victims.

    I'm surprised a medical examiner would release this info this early.

    Agree... wonder if examier is actually saying the truth or what he belives?

    I think that it is a mistake to think that something "tipped him over the edge." This would suggest that any of us could be tipped over the edge and commit such atrocities. He wasn't tipped over the edge. He was undoubtedly mentally ill. You cannot look at this from a sane person's point of view. There is no rationale for slaughtering innocent children.

    :+1: It is absolutely unworkable to attempt to apply a rational explanation to that which is inherently irrational. There is no sane reason for insanity.

    Conn. school victims shot up rifle multiple times - Yahoo! News

    "He believes everyone was hit multiple hits."

    hum??? if you are the examiner how can you believe? Facts!! What are the facts!
    And how is the rifle used when it was found in the car?

    I saw the actual interview. He did the autopsy on 7 of the victims. He said they (the 7) each had 3 to 11 gun shot wounds, and he believes everyone was hit multiple times. He didn't examine the other 19 personally, hence the statement.

    For two days they said the rifle was in the car, kids shot with pistols, and they were all kindergartners.

    Last night they turn into 1st graders and were all shot with an evil black rifle.
