Children and the gunman are among those killed.
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Some children were among at least 27 people killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Friday, according to the Associated Press and Reuters. The total number of victims is unclear, but Reuters reports that 27 are dead, while NBC News is reporting that at least 20 children at the school were shot. The gunman also is among the dead, and, according to an ABC affiliate, is believed to be a parent of one of the students. Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, a local newspaper reported. An official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way told the Associated Press the gunman apparently had two guns. The school district remains on lockdown as police investigate the shootings. There are unconfirmed reports of two shooters, according to the paper. |
Definition of tragedy. I haven't shed a tear in over 5 years, but today that ended. Can't even fathom what the families are going through. Absolutely stomach turning event.
|
I think is the most heinous crime in my lifetime. Targeting children including your own. There is no words, thoughts or prayers that I could utter that would begin to make those victimized begin to heal.
|
An example of pure evil. Nauseating, literally.
Reportedly one of the gunmen is still at large. |
Both horrifying and incredible. The carnage goes on. They kill us in our malls, and places of worship, and schools. We have more luck protecting ourselves from al quada than from the legion of home grown crazies among us. God give these families strength. I can only imagine what they must be going through.

A teacher's son clad in black and carrying two handguns rampaged through a Connecticut elementary school Friday, killing 18 small children and seven adults, including his mother, in the nation’s second-worst school massacre, law enforcement officials said.
The gunman, identified as Ryan Lanza, 24, was also found dead at the scene, a federal law enforcement official said. Lanza's mother is a kindergarten teacher at the Newtown school, and it's inside that classroom where most of the casualties took place, according to WNBC's Jonathan Dienst. |

4:41 p.m.: Federal law enforcement sources now say Connecticut school shooting gunman was Adam Lanza, 20, and not his brother Ryan Lanza, 24, as earlier reported. Adam was found dead in the school along with his mother, a kindergarten teacher there. |

More confusion. Listening to CNN a minute ago. They said Mom not in the school. Found her body in her home in town, Brother taken into custody. Might be just to see what he knows?
