Newton CT Fatal shooting : Reshaping schools while Regaining trust

  The tragedy that happen within coming weeks too Christmas  at Sandy Hook elementary school  struck the nation hard. Along with the town of  newton CT  ,nations around the world mouths were left wide open,eyes in blank mode and hearts so heavy you felt like a ton of bricks fell on you. With Christmas closing in every ones minds were focused on buying there children and loved ones gifts that would light up there faces and belly's full of food and aching from good laughter. But the act of 1 lost young man with disorders took away 20 young children 12 girls, 8 boys and 6 adult women and his own mothers life taken place at her home. Although many will without hesitation like to throw torches at the shooter he too was a victim. Not only too turning the gun on himself but to disorders people pay no mind too.Im not saying what the shooter did should be excused but he was a bright young man with no soul.
  If he took his own life without taking innocent little ones this tragedy would not hurt and affect as many people as it does. yes suicide is always hurtful but MURDER seems so UNFORGIVABLE that theres no coming back from it. These parents will be picking out small coffins instead of watching their children pick out their gifts from under the tree. The women who were teachers and protectors in the children's eyes wont make it home to be with their loved ones and sing carols and enjoy their holiday. The survivors wont see their teachers or classmates and will be scared because their safety net was taken from them. The surviving parents are scared to send their children back and feel guilty to even think about having a Christmas. This town is shattered and before they can even think about reshaping security they have to mourn.
 Radio station got calls called in from across the world talking about gun control as if the shooter went to the store and purchased it. Alot of times in cases like this gun buying would be an issue but these guns were from his family home. Callers want teachers to carry guns and to me that is stupid. The best and easiest way we can start  reshaping the school and regaining the towns trust  is by getting bullet proof classroom doors and windows and making sure each door has a lock. This is  a start in my eyes and idea that sounds much better then having teachers carry guns. Also  as scary as it may seem for young ones maybe all schools should have metal detectors. It'll be the same way if a child was boarding a flight and had to go through the security procedures to get on a plane.
 The world we live in is changing and you can never be too prepared but aware. peoples mental state of minds are getting worse by the day and we can no longer ignore illnesses that can harm others. Now report says that the shooters disorders shouldn't of caused rage but they also don't know what was going on in his mind . This young man killed his own mother,his security blanket . My heart goes out to everyone who was affected and I pray they find strength in this tough time . Even to the shooters family who are in disbelief and want answers as to why this happened as well. I will not bring this  situation up again as I respectfully would like to let these families mourn. I just wanted to throw out a suggestion as to how we can help reshape schools and basically help our Little ones feel secure again. There will always be some sick minded person out there plotting on ways to destroy whatever they can . I just wanted to give a hand and a prays for better days too come.
