Evil struck Newtown, Connecticut this morning.
A gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, before turning the gun on himself in the second worst school shooting in United States history.
Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed his mother at their home in Newtown before going to the school and killing all the students in his mother’s kindergarten class. In addition to the children, Lanza killed the principal and five other adults.
Lanza’s brother Ryan, 24, was taken into custody by Hoboken, New Jersey police where he lived but it was not clear if he is going to be charged with anything in connection to the case.
Ryan Lanza told friends that Adam was developmentally disabled.
President Obama addressed the nation in a somber statement that he was unable to finish without pausing to wipe away tears.
“We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years,” the President told reporters. “Each time I learn the news I react not as a president but as anybody else would as a parent. I know there’s not a parent in America that doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.”
when the innocent are hurt, when their lives are taken, demonic activity is at work
Just like slaughtering the unborn. Lori’s House is needed more than ever. Peace,
I noticed that this young 20 yr old man was wearing battle fatigues. I think he might have been into video games. These games are so realistic and I think that the lines between reality and imagination are crossed over in the role playing. If he was mentally challenged, his parents might have allowed him to play the games as a part of a way to give him some out time. I also noticed that the young man who recently killed many at a theatre at the new batman movie also wore battle fatigues. Our young men and women need spiritual help, not an imagination role playing realm where they can be other fantasy’s. God help us all.
