At Least Six Dead in Amish School Shooting

[anythinggoes]

The coroner in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County says at least six people are dead after Monday's shooting in a one-room Amish schoolhouse.

It's not clear if the shooter is among the six, but state police had earlier said he'd been killed.

The coroner says helicopters were arriving "like crazy" at Lancaster General Hospital -- where a spokesman tells a TV station that three girls were admitted with gunshot wounds, all in critical condition. Officials at another hospital confirmed that victims were also admitted there.

Some two hours after the shooting, about three dozen people in traditional Amish clothing, including hats and bonnets, were seen standing near the small school building, talking to one another and to authorities.

The school is located among farmlands outside a tiny village about 60 miles west of Philadelphia.

Uhm dude, it's an Amish school..I don't think they listen to much Guns N Roses.  Anyhow this place is close to me, everyone around here is totally freaking out and there are state police all over the place.

My parents live about 30-60 minutes from there...my dad works in a nearby HS too.  Just as easily could have been his school.  Really messed up.

This is the 3rd school shooting in ONE WEEK!  This is just insane.

Yeah, plus the one in Canada and the others from this year.  It's been a crazy year for that stuff.  Really I think it's going to come to the point where it's gonna basically be like a prison.  Controlled entry and exit from the facility and an escort/pass system for all visitors.  A good chunk of small city schools don't have metal detectors even though that was the big solution before.  However it still wouldn't stop something like this.  I've been past that school and it's literally nothing but a one room building.  It's sad it's come to this security wise, but you have to fight fire with fire.

It's the new thing, eh.

I heard something about a principal that got shot with a handgun after the shooters rifle was grabbed away by a janitor...

Did this happen in Colorado too?

only in America!!!

The thing about it is, these ones aren't kids.  Well the one where the kid shot the principal was......but this amish one was a milk truck driver who was an adult.  The one in Canada wasn't a student either I don't believe.  It's just people walking into a school and picking victims then killing themselves.  Either way, it's fucked.

I live in Lancaster. 

We have a rule here: Don't Piss Off Ye Amish Men.

Those Amish are gonna kick that guy's butt (well, they would have, but he shot himself, the coward).

They fist fight like nobody's business.

Because American kids don't have respect for anyone. 

[Genesis]

Wasn't a kid who shot the students this time, just a 32 yr old retarted fuck.

It was a 32 year old man who picked a random defenseless school.  He targeted girls only.

3 are dead with at least 6 girls fighting for their lives at area hospitals.

To the a-holes trying to make this into an "only in america" thread, show some respect - children were killed today.

Bucketheadland. D'uh! Didn't you read my profile? 

 

[King Sand]

The shooting that happened at the school in Colorado last week was also done by adult...  Yes, there is a problem with children and guns here, but these last few occurences were not done by children...  These are very tragic stories...
