Police: Number of people dead in Amish school shooting
NICKEL MINES, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A gunman killed "a number" of people at a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday in Pennsylvania's Lancaster County, state police said.
The shooter was among the dead, state police Cpl. Ralph Striebig said.
"There are a number of people dead," Striebig said. "The exact number I do not know yet."
About three dozen Amish people were standing behind a police line, and at least two ambulances had left the scene, WGAL-TV said. Television news helicopters showed a person being taken away on a stretcher to a waiting medical helicopter.
The Lancaster County 911 Web site reported that dozens of emergency units were dispatched to a "medical emergency" at 10:45 a.m. Monday.

You're assuming that the shooter was Amish. Are the Amish allowed to use guns?

The thing i hate the most about these types in shootings is that the killer always ends up dying. Never once do you get to see the fuckers go on trial and explain themselves.

They use what, 18th, maybe early 19th century tools, right? They had firearms back then. Maybe they can only use old timey flintlocks or whatever they were at that time.

I wonder if it was a member of the Amish community
