14 December 2012

Tonight I was going to eulogise legendary British newsreader Kenneth Kendall, but events today have left me in little mood for a blog post. Today 20 children and 6 adults were murdered in a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Also today, at a primary school in the Henan province village of Chengping, China, 22 children and an adult were stabbed. While several injured were taken to hospital, fortunately there have been no deaths thus far. My thoughts and prayers tonight are with those who lost loved ones in the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, as well as with the victims and their famlies of the stabbings in Chengping, China.
