More than two dozen people, including as many as 20 children, have been killed during a school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut outside of New York City early Friday.
Follow live updates here.
According to preliminary reports, a gunman opened fire inside of an office at Shady Hook Elementary at around 9:40 a.m. Friday. Police have verified that the suspected shooter has been found dead on the scene.
Three weapons have been recovered from the slain gunman, identified by law enforcement as 20-year-old, Adam Lanza. Police say the suspect was the son of Nancy Lanza, a kindergarten teacher at Shady Hook. The suspect’s older brother is being questioned by the authorities.
According to the Daily Mail the body of Adam Lanza’s father was found at his home in Newton. The Associated Press reports that Lanza’s girlfriend and another friend are missing in New Jersey.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that the school’s principal and psychologist are also among the deceased. Police are currently searching for the suspect’s girlfriend and another person who have been reported missing.

Both state and local police are still on the scene at Shady Hook and the superintendent has ordered all schools in the district, both public and private, to be placed on lockdown. Lt. J. Paul Vance of the state police department said that both on-duty and off-duty officers responded to the emergency.
Shady Hook, around 12 miles from the town of Danbury, CT, normally has around 600 students in grades kindergarten through four.
Mark Boughton, mayor of Danbury, tells CNN three victims have been sent to a hospital in his city in “very serious” condition, though he declined to comment on their age or identity.
Upon being appointed as principal of Sandy Hook in 2010, Dawn Hochsprung told the Newtown Bee, “I don’t think you could find a more positive place to bring students to every day.”

We here in the U.S. didn’t have these nightmares untill Obama was in office ..Obama wants the guns off the street so our enemies can come in and invade our country .. Before Obama was in office how many shootings like this happened ? ( 0 ) Wake up people !! FALSE FLAG !
I – imagine Marshal Law will be next , then U.N. soldiers to help collect the guns , then invasion from Russia & China to over take the United States..
Obama & C.I.A. had to come up with something — so horrific — that the dumb ,ignorant people will follow Obama with amending the second amendment ..
Any thoughts ?
Sounds right on the dot for me!! These lizards are getting desperate!
You have a short memory. There has been plenty of attrocities in the USA before Obama came to power. Columbine, Virginia Tech etc.
Who knows if gun control is the answer. Whatever is happening now certainly isn’t working.
You jerk. Obama did not do this. How can you blame Obama for something an Autistic boy with mental problems obviously did.
We had shootings long before Obama was in office… you don’t remember the Maryland sniper shootings? That was LONG before Obama. Columbine was long before Obama…
Get you facts straight and then keep you mouth shut anyway.
Another CIA job blaming it on Adam and Eve
About the Conn. shooting. First, I am horrified that humans exist on this planet who are capable of such vile, despicable acts. The shooterS <- yes, there was more than one according to many witnesses, but that part of the story is being scrubbed already. The shooterS will surely burn in hell for this gutless act!
Now is the really scary part of this. I was so angry when I saw what the pres said on TV about this today while shedding crocodile tears (that's fake for those of you who don't know the term). I believe, that unless we all fight for it, this black ops, staged, false flag event will be the beginning of the end for our 2nd amendment right. The conspiracy behind this is that they had to come up with something so horrific that the majority of the sheeple in this country will agree at this moment in time to outlaw guns.
If that happens, America is doomed to a fate where the guns will be confiscated, many forcibly (resulting in the deaths of the owners), and We the People will be left defenseless against a government who will become a tyrant. After all, with the populace unarmed, what's to stop the government (who will still have the guns) from a complete take over of every single one of your freedoms? Nothing. What is to stop the criminals (who will still have the guns) from coming into your home, taking everything you own, raping your loved ones, and shooting you on the way out? Nothing. You will be forced into a third-world life so fast your head will spin. You'll truly become the slaves that you almost are now.
Please friends, share this information with your other friends. A peaceably armed citizen is what keeps the government powers in check. It's your only leverage now. We gave up our financial leverage when we allowed the Federal Reserve to stay. If you give up your right to keep and bear arms, you are giving the green light for a government oppression more powerful than you could ever imagine.
By the way, I'm sure you all realize by now we've had an unusually high amount of horrible shooting stories in the media over the past two weeks. This isn't a coincidence. This is the 3rd or 4th one I've heard this week alone. Believe me when I say we are being systematically programmed through these events and the way the media is portraying them. We are being bombarded with this, trying to change our minds to think that guns and not people are responsible for these things. Think! Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
This is a major psy ops, in a long laundry list of lone wolf shooters to exploit the public into demanding gun control. It’s not even that subtle anymore. Anyone who still believes this govt and its media needs to a psych eval.

MKULTRA & Monarch programming…..
food for thought…………. lets say someone really believes that the world will end on the 21st, and that person has already got a screw loose, then would that not would put them in “ah fck it” mode, thinking everyone is dead anyway they go on a rampage…. ok maybe im just clutching at straws here but this is what fear mongering could lead to
Absolutely, the mentally deranged Armageddon end of the world zombies are capable of idiocy. And history is full of these goons killing others. (Jonestown, etc)
