CBS News: 27 Dead, Including 14 Children, In Elementary School Shooting

NEWTOWN, Conn. (CBS Connecticut/AP) — CBS News is reporting that 27 people are dead, including 14 students, after a shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. The gunman is among the dead.

CBS News’ John Miller reports there is preliminary information that the gunman was the father of one of the students. Miller additionally reports the gunman is 20 years old and is from New Jersey.

The shooter was killed and apparently had two guns, a person with knowledge of the shooting said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still under way. It is not known whether the shooter took his own life or was killed.

Two students and a teacher were also injured in the shooting and they were taken to Dansbury Hospital, spokeswoman Diane Burke told CBS News York.

Teachers and police escorted students out of the building following the shooting.

“It was a very orderly evacuation given the circumstances,” Connecticut Post reporter Brian Koonz told CBS New York.

One mother tells CBS 2 reporter Lou Young that it’s like a “war zone” in Newtown. Her child told Young he had bullets “whizzing by” him in the hallway and that a teacher pulled him into a classroom.

Connecticut State Police tell CBS Connecticut that it is “still an active situation.”

Police responded to the school shooting at 9:41 a.m. WFSB-TV reporter Len Besthoff calls it a “chaotic scene.”

Stephen Delgiadice said his 8-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, Connecticut, which we always thought was the safest place in America,” he said.

The school superintendent’s office says the district has locked down schools as a preventive measure to ensure the safety of students and staff. Schools in neighboring towns also were locked down as a precaution.

State police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance says they have a number of personnel on the scene to assist.

The White House said President Barack Obama was notified of the shooting.

This shooting rivals the massacres at Virginia Tech in 2007 where 32 people were killed and at Columbine High School in 1999 where 13 were gunned down.

Unbelievable. 14 children at least. Not caught in the cross fire. Obviously, it was his intention to kill kids. That is pure evil.

While it is sad that these kids lost their lives, I do not believe now is the time to talk about guns during a tragedy like this. All of our thoughts and prayers should be with the families. #Truth

Which is just going to reenforce the the idea in our kids that they need to be scared all the time and then we'll wonder why we have a culture of killing.

A story on ABC News says there were 2 shooters and the one is still unaccounted for. As horrible as it is, 2 shooters somehow makes it infinitely worse in my mind. I can try and rationalize 1 shooter as a guy "snapping" and not really understand what he's doing. 2 shooters means these fucks sat down and planned doing this to 10 year olds and younger. The level of evil is beyond belief.

Could not agree more. There was a time when a father took his son out back and taught him how to shoot. We need to bring that America back. #Truth

But do they prevent any of these tragedies?

Many private elementary schools in Chicago have real security on the premises. Not just a retired cop sucking up donuts.

Why the FUCK are they interviewing 10 year old kids who just watched their friends and teachers killed? Seriously. If someone honestly thought that's a good decision we may be past the point of no return for society in general.

That's disgustingly exploitative.

On a somewhat related subject, I think it's tacky (and adds nothing to the story for me) when they play 911 calls from anyone, let alone kids, but I'm sure they (the media) will be ecstatic if they get the 911 call of a child or two from this.

They're not talking to any of those kids without getting their parents permission. The parents need the 'douchebag' award.

I would say yes they do.
Especially, if it were possible to make the vestibule doors automatically lock to contain the shooter like the revolving door scene in the Godfather.

One sniper bullet erases the problem.

Shooter's mom was a teacher at the school. She died in the attack.

Nope. One parent was getting interviewed by one reporter and another reporter just walked up to the kid and started interviewing them. Fucking vultures.
