Connecticut school shooting reportedly leaves 27 dead, including kids
Gunman said to be 20-year-old with ties to school in Newtown

A shooting at a Connecticut elementary school has left 27 people dead, including 18 children, according to an official with knowledge of the attack, although state police would not confirm the number of victims in what could be one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.

In a news conference after the Friday morning shooting, Lt. Paul Vance of the state police would only say there were "several fatalities at the school, both students and staff."

He confirmed the gunman was found dead inside the school and the scene has been secured.

The killings happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, about 95 kilometres northeast of New York City.

Vance said local police received a 911 call around 9:45 a.m., ET and notified state police, asking for assistance. A SWAT team was among the throngs of police to respond.

There are unconfirmed media reports the principal and school psychologist are among the dead.

Photos from the scene showed young students — some crying and looking visibly frightened — being escorted by adults through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other's shoulders.

The Hartford Courant newspaper said those shot included children from kindergarten through Grade 4.

The person behind the shooting apparently had two guns, someone with knowledge of the shooting told The Associated Press. Unconfirmed media reports say the suspect fired about 100 bullets.

A law enforcement official in Washington said the attacker was a 20-year-old man with ties to the school and that one of the guns was a .223-calibre rifle. A local police source said the gunman is dead, but provided no further details.

If the Newtown death toll is confirmed, it would rank as the second deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, behind the 2007 gun slayings of 32 people at Virginia Tech University.

Three injured people were taken to Danbury Hospital, according to Pat Broderick, chairman of that facility's emergency department. He would not reveal details about the injuries.
'It's alarming,' student's dad says

Stephen Delgiadice said his eight-year-old daughter heard two big bangs and teachers told her to get in a corner. His daughter was fine.

"It's alarming, especially in Newtown, Conn., which we always thought was the safest place in America," he said.

The superintendent's office said the district had locked down schools in Newtown, in western Connecticut 96 kilometres northeast of New York City.

Emergency vehicles surrounded the school in western Connecticut and parents were seen running toward the building as a helicopter flew overhead.

Mergim Bajraliu, 17, heard the gunshots echo from his home and raced to check on his 9-year-old sister at the school. He said his sister, who was fine, heard a scream come over the intercom at one point. He said teachers were shaking and crying as they came out of the building.

The boy told him a teacher went out to check on the noise, came back in, locked the door and had the kids huddle up in the corner until police arrived.

"There's no words," Wilford said. "It's sheer terror, a sense of imminent danger, to get to your child and be there to protect him."

The White House said Barack Obama was notified of the shooting and his spokesman Jay Carney said the president had "enormous sympathy for families that are affected."

a wddp on my facebook was like "if you want to solve the gun problem you need three things: 1. a living wage for all; 2. full free health care; 3. gun control" and it was really earnest and like umm "if we solved most of our social problems we would solve this other minor problem"

people always talk in grand terms about how we need to respond with these huge programs and shit but like america's got bigger problems then a school shooting once in a while. like are you going to spend $10 billion on a better mental health system to reduce shooting deaths by 30 a year or something. no thanks.

no we need to spend that 10 billion on metal detectors and on security which throw out troublesome black kids. two birds; one stone.

It's a good thing Michigan republicans passed these concealed carry laws and repealed the ban of firearms on school grounds in the wake of this disaster. If kids and teachers at the school had guns, this not happen.

BEIJING -- A man with a knife slashed 22 children and one adult outside an elementary school in Henan province Friday morning, China's worst such incident in more than a year.

The attack was reminiscent of a spate of knife attacks on schoolchildren that took place across China in 2010. In most cases, the attackers were unemployed middle-aged men, leading to speculation that the assaults stemmed from economic and social discontent.

Last Thursday n
ight around midnight, a woman from Houston , Texas was ...arrested, jailed, and charged with manslaughter for shooting a man 6 times in the back as he was running away with her purse. The following Monday morning, the woman was called in front of the Arraignment Judge, sworn-in, and asked to explain her actions. The woman replied, "I was standing at the corner bus stop for about 15 minutes, waiting for the bus to take me home after work. I am a waitress at a local cafe. I was there alone, so I had my right hand on my pistol in my purse hanging on my left shoulder. All of a sudden I was spun around hard to my left. As I caught my balance, I saw a man running away with my purse. I looked down at my right hand and saw that my fingers were wrapped tightly around my pistol. The next thing I remember is saying out loud, "No Way Punk! You're not stealing my pay check and tips." I raised my right hand, pointed my pistol at the man running away from me with my purse, and started squeezing the trigger of my pistol. When asked by the arraignment judge, "Why did you shoot the man 6 times? The woman replied under oath, "Because, when I pulled the trigger the 7th time, it only went click." The woman was acquitted of all charges. She was back at work the next day.
