    Not far from me. Devastating.

    I feel so much sadness for those families. I cannot imagine what it would be like to process a tragedy like that.

    It sickens me that these monsters get exactly what they want, infamy. I want to see monsters like this (or their estates) have no right to sue for defamation and there to be an agreement among all news sources to make up disparaging stories about the killer. I want to see a news outlet say "Experts believe the killer was motivated by rage at the fact that he had a tiny, tiny penis."

    I don't know what the fix is for this. The evidence doesn't support most any gun control that could be done. People refuse to believe their kids need mental healthcare or that they shouldn't have access to guns. I don't know how you stop this.

    Even in other countries with large numbers of guns you don't see school shootings like this.

    My kid starts school this fall and this stuff scares me to death. I have no idea how to stop it.

    I mean it's never gonna stop it. But mandatory minimums for commiting crimes with guns that are more strict than anything else.

    For example, if you rob someone with a gun (or pretend gun) you get a minimum of 10 years vs. 5 with no weapon, knife, bat, etc.

    That and tax the **** out of ammunition.

    The mass murder is tragic as they all are. Of course the politicians will try to capitalize on the rare event

    Tragic from all angles

    Are you attempting to say that politicians trying to tackle school shootings is equally tragic as school shootings?

    Also I woudln't really call it rare, there were 27 school shootings this year, that's 5-6 per month. If I had explosive diarrhea every week, I wouldn't call that rare. I'd think I had a problem.

    more people die from gun violence in chicago every month than school shootings in a year... nobody cares

    On Brett baier, one or the panel said a common link among these school shooters is they grew up in fatherless homes. Can anyone confirm that?

    been having these since the mid 90's while every other country has somehow pretty much stopped them


    the cop out of "mental health crisis" is laughable to think it only continues to happen here


    we literally choose to keep letting this happen and be part of our country


    wish we cared about living people and kids as much as we did a fetus

    He killed his grandmother first. I'd say he was far from being mentally healthy
