At least six people are dead after a man entered a one-room Amish school house and opened fire before shooting himself.

This is the 4th fatal school shooting this month. This is scary.

More news is being released... it's getting more and more twisted.

A teacher at the school called police around 10:36 a.m., saying that hostages had been taken, said Miller. Miller said officers responded and that Roberts, who was armed with an automatic handgun and a shotgun, could easily see them. Miller said Roberts had forced many of the children to line up against the blackboard and that he bound their feet with wire ties and flex cuffs. Miller said that it appears when Roberts shot the children, they were shot execution style.

and reading this article here makes me pissed. This is about cutting the funding for school safety.

As much as I'm a conservative, I DON'T get why the Bush admin has the cut the funding while shootings seem to get worse...

My prayers go with the victims family....

While I agree with your comments, I doubt that this would make much difference in an Amish one room school.

Some of the first pictures from the scene are really amazing -- modern patrol cars parked next to horse and buggys.

These situations are really sick.
