At a time when most folks in our country are warming to the holiday season, another senseless violent act chills our society.  Tonight's the night of our Radio Peoria Christmas party.  Tomorrow, I begin a week's vacation.  But it's hard to feel too cheery.

A gunman in his 20's, possibly with his brother as an accomplice, opened fire in an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, killing 27 people, 20 of whom were children.  Earlier this week, another young man opened fire at a Portland, Oregon mall and killed two.  Now comes this heinous slaughter produced by a young man, who shot his elementary school teaching mom, after already killing his father, then open fire on the rest of the classroom.  The school shooter is dead, his brother, an accomplice, was caught in the woods nearby.  Below is the latest report from CNN.
