Yes, this guy was a total nut case. He apparently had a grudge about an infant daugther that passed away a few years ago. These poor little girls he targeted would have been roughtly the same age of his late daughter had she lived. He walked into the school waiving his gun around and asking "Do you know what this is?" according to some of the news reports.
I couldn't imagine the horror. Just like the Russian school that was invaded a few years ago...these are LITTLE CHILDREN that are being targeted.
All I can say about this recent rash of school shootings is that it is a good thing these shooters have taken themselves out (at least 2 of the 3 shooters) to spare the families more grief, etc., dealing with the justice system.
And, the Amish who keep to themselves, are now thrust into this public eye for something that is so horrible.
I am literally sick when I think of those poor girls. That would be like someone going into one of my kids' classrooms.

Just a note: most Amish do not have insurance. Their medical bills are going to be outrageous. Think about donating if you see reliable organizations collecting to help the Amish community. I may be involved with this and if I hear anything I will pass info along.

jess_pom; I agree with all your points. In all the media reports that I have seen or heard, while officials have reached out to the area Leaders asking what "outsiders" can do there has not been any reply as of yet. Outside of a request for mantaining privacy of families.
We, as outsiders, should remember that this is a group that does support each other.
So, perhaps we should all in our own way give good thoughts and wait untill there is some official notification.

Sadly, this was one of my first thoughts. Many hospitals in the area have funds for such a thing, but there could be years of therapy needed for the girls who were shot but didn't pass away.

I just found out that as soon as possible they're going to burn down the school and rebuild. I bet the whole undertake will be done in less than a week.

Apparently, Fred Phelps and his band of assholes are planning on protesting the funerals.

It pisses me off how they've claimed "baptist" as their name, when they're not connected to any Baptist organization.

Thank you for sharing that. The very thought of those children having to relive that trauma every day was just too horrifying!
