yeah it must have been awful for them is cousin has just been interveiwed n she said there were no warnign signs, and no one knows why he did it x

I thought his mother was dead after hearing those incorrect reports yesterday. -
The family are dealing with enough without this extra upset, and of course worry without this gaff making it worse :o((

My thoughts are still with all of the victims, and their families, and all those who witnessed this horrific incident yesterday x

its terrible, the poor familys, your right Mau, t doesnt just happen in america but it just seems to happen more often over there,


the poor familys, and friends of the victims x

Just woken up to the news. What a tragedy. What is it which compels a human being to take others lives so indiscriminately and cruelly.

eeeeeeeeeek we just got back from there.

I feel for all those affected, my heart goes out to them all.

my thoughts with the families unbelievable xxx

nobody knows what gun was used,

,,,,but shot guns are legal here if you hold a current licence firearm certificate.

and reporters asking inane questions that no one could possibly answer

my heart goes for his mother,,,,,,,,,


they had her reported shot dead, !!!,,,,,,what a gaff for the family to have heard that dreaful news,,,,,,,,,,and they didnt rectify that till late this afternnoon,,,,,,shameful running willy nilly till they got full KNOWN facts from the authorities,

Latest body count is now 12 people confirmed dead he has shot himself. I remember Dunblane I was about eleven at the time and hoped I would not see another gun massacre in the uk after hand guns were confiscated.

Latest news is 12 dead and 25 injured!

Like McB I thought about Cumbrian Caz and hope she and her family are okay.

Not just in America Stray.....in 1989 on a quiet Sunday a gunman (later confirmed as a schizoprehnic) rampaged in Monkseaton,Whitley Bay. He killed one person and injured 14 others, using his father's shotgun.

heartbreaking news - 12 killed and 25 injured - three critically - he just killed people randomly and one has to wonder what on earth was going on in his mind to do such a dreadful thing - how will these small villages ever recover from such a tragedy? my heart goes out to all concerned and in particular the children of the killer and his mother

There will hundreds of traumatised people tonight.The GP I heard talking sounded dreadful.He had witnessed two bodies on the pavement.He knew the lady I think ,but from what I an gather the other person he could not identify because of the injuries.
It's best we just all wait until we hear the correct details I think.It is a tragedy and I just feel so sorry for everyone concerned.

Tragic utterly tragic.

thank goodness the news ************GOT IT WRONG************<<<<<<<< in its broadcasting all morning,,,,,and the mum is unharmed and very much alive !!!, poor poor woman,(
sad as it is Sue,thats media covereage, some people will crave every little bit of details they can,regardless that its not going to have any impact on their lives at all,,,,,!

ps someone I knew also faced an undischarged gun and still in recovery after 10 years ,she cant go out,!!

I have just had the misfortune of listening to that witch Kay Burley on Sky News trying to get eye witnesses to describe all the gory details plus any other little bit of info she could drag out of them.

Bloody despicable journalism in my view.

A friend faced a gun wielding bank robber in Norwich and she received counselling for 6 months and that gun wasn't discharged. How the hell do these people feel?

Sue

It says he has even shot his own mother,I hope in a way it is him they have found.
Just a shame he won't get the punisment he deserves.

Maryb

Oh no. Just in, must look at news.

But I thought that after Dunblane, when they confiscated all the handguns from the legal users......the politicians expected all this gun crime would stop?

or am I being cynical?

bob

ooops silly me !!

its only criminals that have guns now isnt it?

Stray - it has happened in the UK before - Hungerford in the 1980's and, of course, Dunblane. Dreadful for all concerned.
