One student said there were bullets whizzing by him in the hallway. Female principal and school psychologist are both believed to have been targeted. Moved to tears, President Obama says 'our hearts are broken today'. Flags on Capitol Hill will be flown at half-mast. The gunman who today slaughtered 26 people including 20 children used his teacher mother's own guns to shoot students in her kindergarten class during his horrific killing spree at a Connecticut elementary school.
Adam Lanza is
believed to have a personality disorder. He was carrying a .223 rifle
and two handguns when he entered the Sandy Hook Elementary school
shortly after 9.30am and started gunning people down. Witnesses say he
was going from room-to-room shooting people after first killing the
principal Dawn Hochsprung and psychologist execution-style in the main
office. Officials said most of the slaughter occurred in two classrooms,
and one entire class is unaccounted for. Parents who have not been
united with their children are assuming the worst. One witness told
WCBS: 'Police just told us everyone presumed missing is in the school
and they are dead.'
