Richland Hills police say a man is in custody for carving a pentagram into the back of his six-year-old boy.

 

Department spokesman Sgt. Nathan Stringer said officers were dispatched to a home in the 3700 block of Ruth Road after a man called 911 just after midnight Wednesday and said "I shed some innocent blood." The dispatcher asked what he meant and the man responded, "I inscribed a pentagram on my son."

 

When asked why, the caller said, "Because it's a holy day" and hung up the phone.

What?

ALEC (again) !

 

"To explain the shift, Snyder has said that the issue simply gained “critical mass.†But lately, a well-funded conservative political machine, with ties to the Koch family and other wealthy backers, as well as to the notorious conservative lobby group ALEC, has been flexing its considerable muscle. What looked like a spontaneous shift in Michigan labor policy had been planned for months—and the success of the right-to-work push could foretell future efforts nationwide."

This has to be more left wing propaganda. How low will they stoop?

PORTLAND, Ore. — A masked gunman wearing camouflage opened fire Tuesday in a busy Portland mall, leaving the gunman and two others dead and forcing the mall’s Santa Claus and hundreds of Christmas shoppers and employees to flee or hide among store displays.

 

Austin Patty, 20, who works at Macy’s, said he saw a man in a white mask carrying a rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest. He heard the gunman say, “I am the shooter,†as if announcing himself. A series of rapid-fire shots in short succession followed as Christmas music played. Patty said he ducked to the ground and then ran.

This is a very fluid story with the numbers changing periodically.

 

A shooting at a Connecticut elementary school today left 26 people dead, including children and adults, according to reports.

Twenty-six people were killed, including 18 children, the Associated Press reported, citing an official. The gunman was also dead. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still under way.

 

At a brief news conference this afternoon, a Connecticut State Police official said the gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown was killed. "The shooter is deceased inside the building," said police Lt. Paul Vance.

A source told the Associated Press that the suspect is 24 years old and that his younger brother is being held.

Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, sources told the Hartford Courant. One entire classroom is unaccounted for, sources said.

WCBS-TV and the New York Times report that the shooter's mother was a teacher at the school and that many of the victims were apparently her students

Vance said students and staff were killed, but he did not provide a death toll. He said further information would be released at a later news conference.

The shooting appeared to be the nation's second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007.

There were unconfirmed reports of a second shooter after witnesses reported hearing dozens of shots fired.

 

Sandy Hook Elementary School teaches children from kindergarten through fourth grade, roughly ages 5 to 10.

 

“It was horrendous,†said parent Brenda Lebinski, who rushed to the school where her daughter is in the third grade. “Everyone was in hysterics - parents, students. There were kids coming out of the school bloodied. I don't know if they were shot, but they were bloodied.â€

 

Television images showed police and ambulances at the scene, and parents rushing toward the school. Parents were seen reuniting with their children and taking them home.

 

“This is going to be bad,†a state official told Reuters, requesting anonymity because the scope of the tragedy remained uncertain.

 

The shooter, an adult, was dead and two handguns were recovered from the scene, NBC News reported without citing a source.

 

Lebinski said a mother who was at the school during the shooting told her a “masked man†entered the principal's office and may have shot the principal. Lebinski, who is friends with the mother who was at the school, said the principal was “severely injured.â€

 

Lebinski's daughter's teacher “immediately locked the door to the classroom and put all the kids in the corner of the room.â€

 

Stephen Delgiadice said his 8-year-old daughter heard two big bangs and teachers told her to get in a corner. His daughter was fine.

 

“It's alarming, especially in Newtown, Connecticut, which we always thought was the safest place in America,†he said.

 

The superintendent's office said the district had locked down schools in Newtown, about 60 miles northeast of New York City. Schools in neighboring towns also were locked down as a precaution.

 

State police said Newtown police called them around 9:40 a.m. A SWAT team was among the throngs of police to respond.

 

Mergim Bajraliu, 17, heard the gunshots echo from his home and raced to check on his 9-year-old sister at the school. He said his sister, who was fine, heard a scream come over the intercom at one point. He said teachers were shaking and crying as they came out of the building.

 

“Everyone was just traumatized,†he said.

 

A girl interviewed by NBC Connecticut described hearing seven loud “booms†as she was in gym class. Other children began crying and teachers moved the students to a nearby office, she said.

 

“A police officer came in and told us to run outside and so we did,†the unidentified girl said on camera.

 

Connecticut State Police said its officers were at the scene with local police but provided no additional details. The emergency call to police occurred at 9:41 a.m., state police said.

 

Newtown, with a population about 27,000, is in northern Fairfield County, about 45 miles southwest of Hartford and 80 miles northeast of New York City.

 

Sandy Hook is one of four elementary schools in the district.

What the fuck is it going to take for US politicians to take on the gun lobby ? Even if they did manage to enact any worthwhile legislation, I suspect that it's too late - getting millions of weapons off the streets would take decades, and there will always be a black market somewhere.

 

Again, the concept of 'hell' isnt completely without merit. Homegrown fruitcake, presumably with no political or religious motives : seriously fucked up.

Can't take the guns away cuz then only the bad guys would get them. I don't take much of a stand on gun control but if the good guys had guns too, then the bad guys may think twice about blowing away 18 grade school children. He may get one or two but if we were allowed to have guns too, he wouldn't be shooting 27 people dead before he was dead. That is an indisputable fact.

Time to ask some serious questions and look at the constitution. Bearing in mind it was written when there was no, or not much of a US Army 200 odd years ago. It's simply happening too often.

 

Dreadful time of the year for the families, friends, staff and neighbours etc over there.
