"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It looks like 27 dead, 18 children, all under ten.

One shooter in custody, and I think the other is dead.

One person reported one hundred rounds going off. An entire classroom was missing, so I think that's where the casualties were concentrated. Sounds like he slaughtered an entire classroom and ran out of the school into the woods behind the school. Several of the adults who were killed were teachers and staff running towards the gunfire trying to stop the shooters.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

CNN: "One shooter is 24 years old wearing a bullet proof vest and holding 4 weapons."

So it was premeditated.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That's awful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Some reports said there was shooting in a Kindergarten class. So that might be the missing class.

Saw one other thing saying that the Principal had been pushing for stricter safety polices - wonder if that set off some right-to-arm dude?

The school does have a buzz-in set-up, but since one of the shooters was a parent that's how he got in.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

'Suela, I really want to.

In fact, I am wondering if we can start December over.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Please god no. I've just gotten through the hardest part!
