27 dead/18 kids. How many could a knife-wielding crazy have killed before others brought him down?

When will we ever learn?

An official with knowledge of Connection school shooting tells the Associated Press that 27 people are dead, including 18 children.
Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, sources told the Hartford Courant. The gunman is reported dead.
One official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way, says the man apparently had two guns.

The shooting was reported at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, in western Connecticut. State police say Newtown police called them at about 9:40 a.m. about the reports.

Wait for the posts that proclaim that, overall, crime is down.
