NICKEL MINES, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A gunman killed six people at a one-room Amish schoolhouse Monday morning in Pennsylvania's bucolic Lancaster County, and several others were taken to hospitals with injuries, authorities said.

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

It was unclear if the shooter was among the six. State Police Cpl. Ralph Striebig said earlier that the shooter was dead. (Watch helicopter video from the scene of the shooting -- 1:00 )

Three girls, all in critical condition with gunshot wounds, were admitted to Lancaster General Hospital, spokesman John Lines told WGAL-TV.

Officials at the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center confirmed that victims also were being admitted there. A spokeswoman said the hospital anticipated more than one patient but did not know how many.

Police surrounded the one-room school late Monday morning, and the Lancaster County 911 Web site reported that dozens of emergency units were dispatched to a "medical emergency" at 10:45 a.m.

Two hours later, about three dozen people in traditional Amish clothing, hats and bonnets stood near the small school building speaking to one another, several young people and authorities.

At least two ambulances had left the scene, and at least one person was taken on a stretcher to a medical helicopter.

I am suprized nobody made a topic about this yet , its not that far from where i live so all news and headliners are about this shooting. but Yesterday afternoon 3 little girls died from an amish school in Lancaster PA. And last night 2 more died from gun shot wounds. The gunman shot 7 girls in total.

The gunman decided to take out his frustration on a one room amish school. he let all the boys go and then decided to keep girls younger than 13, they dont know his reasons for this but they think it maybe because of molestation of younger children that happened 20 years ago. In his last conversation with his wife he confessed that he molested 2 kids from their family 20 years ago and that he planned to do it again. They think that this triggered his anger, he was very quiet about this and he planned it very well.

But its sad that he did this just cause it was an amish school. It makes me wonder how safe are our schools, do kids have to be afraid to go to school everyday? and to think we trust ourselves being there when we are there half of the day... think about all this stuff thats going on, colorado shootings, sexual abuse, molestation these are things all going on at our schools.

It seems like going into schools and killing kids is a trend now. That was like what the 3rd one in the nation in less than a week. It's sad. It really is.
I guess 20 years ago (when he was 12) he raped some of his distant family members and no one knew about it, not even his wife. And I guess he felt guilty... I don't agree with the theory of he was guilty because when you're guilty you usually don't try to kill 10 kids.
