Breaking News: Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting leaves 28 Dead, mostly Children by LadyWinona: 5:52am On Dec 15, 2012
NEWTOWN, Conn.--A shooting
rampage in this small Connecticut
town
on Friday morning left 28 people dead,
including 20 children killed inside their
elementary school, authorities said.
The dead included the suspected
gunman, whom law enforcement
sources identified as Adam Lanza, 20.
Police said that Lanza first apparently
killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at the
home they shared in Newtown. Then he
drove in her car to Sandy Hook
Elementary, the school at which Nancy
Lanza taught kindergarten.
In the car, authorities said, were three
guns: a .223 caliber “Bushmaster” rifle
and two pistols, a Sig Sauer and a
Glock.

At the school, authorities said, Adam
Lanza shot and killed six adults —
including the school’s principal — and
20 children. They were shot in two
different rooms of the school, police
said.
Police were called to the school after
9:35 a.m., and officers searched the
classrooms for a shooter. When they
found the gunman, however, he was
dead by his own hand. No officer fired a
shot.

President Obama, in one of his most
emotional speeches as president, wiped
away tears as he spoke about the
shooting from the White House’s
briefing room. “Our hearts are broken
today,” Obama said. He promised
“meaningful action to prevent more
tragedies like this,” but did not say
specifically what he might do..
