TheTrenchcoat Chronicles

They have the shooter in custody.

Link Magnolia? Thanks! I swear, this almost makes me want to homeschool my 4 kids!

AP is saying a “number of people killed.”

Multiple deaths, shooter shot and killed. Not known whether the shooter was a student at the school.

Some Links for ya… This is so crazy!

Thanks! I heard the news right after I posted that. Unreal.

Thanks, OC…msnbc says it appears to have been an outsider named Roy…no connection to anyone…again,could just be rumour

six confirmed k
unknown if gunman is among them or in custody…that’s on dif. news stations

You know, I’m wondering if this is going to be a man, who wasn’t a part of the community. There have been murders in the Amish community before, but this is strange.

News in the UK saying that there are six deaths and three critical after the shooting.

The gunman is believed to be among the fatalities but it is not known if he shot himself or was killed by the police.

Here’s a link to Sky News:

One of the victims could be as young as 6 :’(

Six now confirmed dead.

What the hell is going on in this world?

Suspect is truck driver named Charles Robert…victims shot in head,but fox news said only 3 dead students.
Charles Carl Robert is 32.

Ok…deep breath…he wanted to assault the young girls,left his wife a note…he semt all the boys and teachers out of classroom.
sonofabitch

mofo is reported now as dead

Deja vu.

So we’ve gone from students shooting up schools, to adults walking in, choosing the girls, and killing. F*cktard.

per fox..3kids, 3 adults dead, 7 students injured,3 critical
One of the youngest died in Troopers arms. Note said the murders were revenge for incident 20 years ago.

Cops are saying 3 only confirmed dead..all females..bound together at feet..7 critical with headshots

I homeschool my 2 children and though I am always taken back by school shootings, they hardly are surprising news anymore. This however is extremely disturbing to me because I have always had a deep respect and love for the Amish. I take alot of my teaching methods from them and we live a very simple life on a homestead farm. It is so unfair that this violence has crossed over to these people.

I was holding my breath and praying that this did not come from one of their own. I am glad they don’t have to live with that hanging over their head. These people have enough labels placed upon them without having the tragedy of people blaming their “sheltered” lives for this.

The only thing I’ve found, is an incident in April of 1986, by a Charles Roberts II, b. 1948. Could be a parent. But it was a DWI, and driving on suspended. Minimum sentence 2-100 days. I am still searching.

That would have to be his grandfather since this one is Charles Roberts IV.

soobs..he is cc roberts the 4th

We have Amish communities close to here…they are such a peaceful and kind community.

Well, he isn’t old enough then. I thought one of his cousins could have been #III, but I guess that’s wrong, huh?

Magz, there is a community less than 20 miles north of me, as well. It’s heartwrenching.

I’ve been to Pennsylvania Dutch Country on more than one occasion.

the 4th was 32… per msnbc,no one so far can identify the incident 20 years ago for this “revenge”

I can hazard a guess.

I’ve had a grudge for 50 years now against Jimmy Woodruff…he beat the hell out of me and stole the watch Santa had just brought me…it just never occurred to me that getting revenge on innocent people would make me feel better.( ok..if I saw him today,I’d probably smack him upside the head ) but damn…life goes on and ya don’t need to go nutz cause you were bullied or your feelings were hurt.

When I saw the part about him singling out girls, I thought “Wishes don’t come true”.

But I see there was apparently no sexual assault on them. So it’s a different story.

Like everyone else, I’m curious about the 20 year old grudge. Sounds like it just suddenly up and affected him out of no where.

I have plenty of grudges against myself as well as people I’ve been involved with over the decades, including my son’s mom. But I’m too realistic to ever do anything in the real world. Fantasy is all well and good. Fantasy you can do things over and over again with no worries. Reality… you can’t take things back once done.

Sometimes I even wish I could do what was done at the end of the Director’s Cut of Butterfly Effect. Sadly, that too is fantasy.
