BREAKING NEWS:U.S. CONNECTICUT SCHOOL CHILDREN MASSACRE

No comments :
In one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, a gunman opened fire Friday in a Connecticut elementary school, k**ling nearly 30 people -- most of them children, a law enforcement official receiving information from the scene told newsmen. At least 10 of the d**d at Sandy Hook Elementary School were students, a different law enforcement source familiar with the investigation said.

 Among the dead were the school's principal and psychologist, according to a parent who was at the school when the incident happened. The mother of the suspected gunman was also among the dead at the school, a senior law enforcement official familiar with the investigation told newsmen, while the suspect's brother was found dead in a residential location in Hoboken, New Jersey.

 "Why? Why?" one woman wailed as she walked up a wooded roadway leading from the school. At a news conference Friday afternoon, state police Lt. Paul Vance declined to put a number on the deaths. He would say only that there had been "several fatalities." Police were waiting to notify families before releasing details, but he reassured nervous residents that the school was secure, the danger past. 

The gunman is dead, his body in a classroom, a source with knowledge of the investigation told newsmen. Police have recovered two weapons from the suspect, a Glock and a Sig Sauer, the source said. It's unclear if police k**led the suspect. Police were questioning another man but are not calling him a suspect.

 President Barack Obama addressed the shooting in an emotional statement Friday afternoon, saying, "Our hearts our broken today." Obama, a father to two girls, wiped away tears as he noted the nation has "endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years." Despite the danger being past, federal officers in tactical gear were on the scene Friday afternoon, coordinating with state and local authorities. 

At least four ambulances remained at the school. 'I hope my mom is ok': Tweets from the Connecticut school shooting Hospital officials in neighboring Danbury said they were treating three people wounded in the shooting. Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said the victims were in "very serious" condition. Police and teachers rushed students from the building as police swarmed the area shortly after the first calls came in, around 9:40 a.m. ET. Officials moved students to a nearby firehouse, where parents frantically sought information about their children.
