Children and adults gunned down in Connecticut school massacre

 

I know you all have heard about the tragic event that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary school yesterday December 14th. 20 year old Adam Lanza (pictured below right) killed his mum at home and drove to the school in Newtown, Connecticut and opened fire on pupils and teachers, killing 26 people in all. 20 children between 5 to 10 years old and six adults, including the school principal; before killing himself.

Adam Lanza was dressed in black military gear and a bullet proof vest when he opened fire in the principal's office and then moved to a kindergarten classroom where his mother, Nancy, taught. The three guns (Glock and Sig Sauer revolvers and Bushmaster rifle) used in the shooting were legally purchased by Adam's mother, Nancy Lanza, whose body was found in the home she shared with Adam. This massacre is the worst involving little children in American history. How could something this horrible happen? Truly truly truly sad! Can't believe this guy went after defenseless little children. So heartbreaking. Our hearts go out to the mothers who lost their children and people who lost loved ones. May God bless the memory of all the victims.

Rihanna Threatens To Kill Chris Brown If He Ever Leaves Her For Another Woman

MediaTakeOut.com just received a report from Star Magazine, claiming that Rihanna threatened to MURDER Chris Brown – if he left her for another woman (Karrueche included).
Here is what is being reported:

RiRi, 24, has told Chris, 23, that she’ll “finish him off” if he leaves her. “She says she’s been through so much pain to get Chris back that his life won’t be worth living if he breaks her heart again,” the source reveals. . .

RiRi’s death threat gambit appears to be working. “Chris has told others that he wants to marry her and be with her forever . . . It’s pretty scary – but instead of FREAKING Chris out, it seems to turn him on.”
