Latest figures suggest at least 38 dead including 22 children. At least another 12 injured.
It is horrific. Shooting people is horrendous but how he could stab innocent sleeping children is incomprehensible. Just heartbreaking for the families. I can't begin to imagine how you ever cope and come back from something like this.

The pain! Those poor devastated families. It's unimaginable how someone could do this.

Oh my goodness this is just appalling . Those poor little souls and their desperate parents. Then his wife and child too. Its unfathomable. It's one thing to kill yourself if you must, but to take others with you , particularly children is just so dreadful.

I just read on BBC website, that the murderer was a suspended police officer awaiting a drugs trial.

37 innocents killed, and they are saying over 20 were children as young as 2. Absolutely heartbreaking.

It certainly does Chestnut ☹️
I can understand, in a way, if say a bank employee who has been sacked or feels outraged by his treatment, returns there with a gun to shoot colleagues, it is terrible but human nature.
Killing toddlers and young children in a nursery is in a different league and I cannot believe that anyone can comprehend the reasons for it.

Horrendous. The reporting of the parents waiting was heartbreaking.
He will have a history of hidden domestic violence more than likely.

I have always said that the human mind is the greatest mystery in the universe. Literally. It actually is. We are still trying to fathom why people do what they do, especially with regard to cruelty and murder, but it just remains a mystery.

I believe that the perpetrator of this terrible shooting killed his wife and child before turning his gun on the nursery staff and children.
Too terrible to think about.

I was just reading about it. Those poor babies and their families - so sad …

I cannot understand why a man would do this, against innocent tiny children.It happens in so many countries, including the UK.The men are either shot dead by police or shoot themselves so we will never know.To me, it is unfathomable.
