Multiple Fatalities In Amish School Shooting

What in the hell is wrong with people? For the third time in a WEEK, there's been a school-shooting. This time, there are conflicting reports of fatalities; CNN claims 3 while a report linked to from the Drudge Report Claims as many as 6 victims are confirmed dead, and there may be more.

The county coroner says at least six people were killed in a shooting at a one-room Amish schoolhouse, where state police said earlier a gunman killed
"a number" of people Monday in Pennsylvania's bucolic Lancaster County.

"So far six confirmed dead and the helicopters are pulling into
(Lancaster General Hospital) like crazy," Lancaster County Coroner G. Gary
Kirchner said.

The shooting took place at Wolf Rock School in Paradise, a school run by
the Amish community with about 27 students in grades 1 through 8.

The gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV, 32, was a truck driver, said
Miller.

Miller said that during the attack, Roberts apparently told students to
line up in front of the blackboard. He began to tie his female captives' feet together. Then he let the boys in the classroom leave.


Miller said Roberts called his wife while he was inside the school. She
said he didn't know where he was but that he couldn't go on any more and he was getting revenge for something that happened 20 years ago.
