ABC news has a blog where they're posting updates. 7:51am Eastern time it said that some, but not all, of the bodies had been removed. But that was a few hours ago, so it's possible they have by now.

My heart breaks for everyone affected by this tragedy.

Sadly, it's necessary for the forensics people to do their job of securing the evidence.

And, just as sadly, it isn't always easy to make a positive identification after a fatal shooting.

Most departments try to move within 2 hours...though photos, diagrams & notes have to be done before...which in a scene this big could take a while.

I just can't imagine going to pick up kid from school & have police ask you to go home for photos. interview where kid talked about bullet whizzing past him before teacher pulls him in a room was horrible to hear about.

My prayers extend to all those first responders too - what they must have to do to hold it together to do their job and do it professionally I can't even begin to comprehend.

Words are not enough. This was so senseless.

Many of the first responders were local residents. I read last night that there are counselors already deployed for responders, who might also be struggling with coming to terms with the horrific scene and working in it.

Status: offline 		I watched news coverage in horror yesterday...hand over mouth, tears streaming down my cheeks. My daughter was off at her elementary school and I couldnt help but miss her even more than I normally do. Most days Im glad she is at school because I know she loves it and Ill be honest...I love the break. But yesterday, I found myself wanting her home RIGHT NOW. She still doesnt know about what happened at Sandy Hook yesterday and Im not really sure what I can say yet when she does find out and start asking questions.

I cannot even fathom the hell those poor people in Newtown are going through right now. From the parents of the children who died, to the families of the others who lost their lives, to the first responders who had to witness what can only be imagined to be an horrific scene, to the survivors who had to endure what can only be the scariest thing in their life. My heart literally hurts and it has ached since yesterday.

Forensically, Aswad is sadly very correct. I know someone who is part of the forensic crime scene team for our local county sheriffs department and Ive asked him before why the hell it takes so long for them to move a person who was deceased from a crime scene. He told me that he knows how horrible it sounds to have someone laying there for hours while a crime scene is processed, but they want to make sure that they leave no stone unturned when it comes to the scene. If it takes a couple of hours to process a crime scene involving one person, I can only imagine the amount of hard work that has to go into processing a scene that involves the level of carnage that Sandy Hook Elementary experienced.

I would try something along the lines of what I told my nanny kids after oklahoma city because they found me in tears. I told them I was sad because some bad people did a bad thing & babies are now in heaven which makes me sad.
Then answered their questions like did it hurt? For just a second then the angels took them.
Why did the bad people do this? I don't know
Will those bad people come here? No & promise I will do everything to keep you safe always
They took it well & then went & dressed up dolls in "special clothes" (lace table cloth) "so the heaven babies know she misses them too". After that explaination we kept a strict news off around ums stance, till media went back to less upsetting topics.

Would I be able to post it here for those who would like to do the same? Maybe people can PM me for it if the mods would rather me not post it publicly?

The Chicago Tribune has released the names and ages of the victims in Newtown. It looks like the children were all between the ages of 6-7 years old. I have no clue if this is going to be okay or not with the mods, but maybe we could all say a prayer or do what you do for the following people who lost their lives yesterday...

Charlotte Bacon (age 6)
Daniel Barden (age 7)
Olivia Engel (age 6)
Josephine Gay (age 7)
Ana M. Marquez-Greene (age 6)
Dylan Hockley (age 6)
Madeleine F. Hsu (age 6)
Catherine V. Hubbard (age 6)
Chase Kowalski (age 7)
Jesse Lewis (age 6)
James Mattioli (age 6)
Grace McDonnell (age 7)
Emilie Parker (age 6)
Jack Pinto (age 6)
Noah Pozner (age 6)
Caroline Previdi (age 6)
Jessica Rekos (age 6)
Avielle Richman (age 6)
Benjamin Wheeler (age 6)
