Newtown Shooting

A Connecticut newspaper released some details of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary last December.  The details included some of the actions by the shooter prior to the attack, and how the shooter entered the school.

Note that the Connecticut State Police have not yet released the official report, so anything else should be treated as speculation.

Dylan Klebold’s Mother: During Columbine Shooting I Prayed He Would Kill Himself

The Inquisitr
Dylan Klebold’s mother said that when she learned her son was likely the shooter in the ongoing shooting at Columbine High School, she had one overriding thought — a wish that her son would kill himself.

In an interview with Parenting, Dylan Klebold’s mother, Sue Klebold, claims that on the day of the massacre, April 20, 1999, she prayed her son would end the massacre.

“I had a sudden vision of what he might be doing,” Sue Klebold said. “And so while every other mother in Littleton was praying that her child was safe, I had to pray that mine would die before he hurt anyone else.”

The revelation about Dylan Klebold’s mother came as part of a new book from author Andrew Solomon, Far From the Tree. Solomon explores how blame was placed on a number of factors after the Columbine massacre and that Sue Klebold held guilt for what happened.
