Its a terrible tragedy. I had just sat down after one of my final exams and opened my laptop and saw the breaking news.

The school is only a few hours away from where I live. Its disgusting - shooting at temples, at high schools, colleges, movie theaters...and now at an ELEMENTARY school?! Twenty of the victims were children between the ages of 5 and 10, they hadn't had a chance to grow up, develop friendships, graduate, marry...nothing! All because of the actions of one gunman.

The principal and school psychologist were shot dead too, as well as some other adults. He even killed his mother, a teacher at the school (presumably why he went there) and his father at home before he went to the school.

My country needs some gun-control laws; if 9/11 changed the entire airplane security system, then how many more shootings does it take to reform gun laws?!

This is seriously sick. How mean can people get? And why those innocent kids? What did they do to be killed in such way? How would their parents and family feel seeing their kids in such state? I just pray the person who did it gets it the same way and may the family be strong 😔

I am extremely saddened by the atrocity that these innocent children had to face. My deepest condolences go out to the families and people that are affected by it. The United States seriously needs to do something about gun control. My prayers also go out to all the people that were affected by all the shootings that took place this year.

I've been hearing this shocking news all day. 😭 The moron killed his elder brother and father before going on this killing spree. May you rot in hell.

Condolences to the friends and families of all those affected by this tragedy.
