More than two dozen people, mostly elementary school children, were shot and killed at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school this morning, federal and state sources tell ABC News.
The massacre involved two gunmen at a Connecticut school this morning, prompting the town of Newtown to lock down all of its schools and draw SWAT teams to the school, authorities said today.
State Police confirm that one shooter is dead. A second gunman is apparently at large. Car-to-car searches are underway.
It's unclear how many people have been shot, but 25 people, mostly children are dead, multiple federal and state sources tell ABC News. That number could rise, officials said.
It is the worst shooting in a U.S. elementary school in recent memory.
The shooting comes just three days after masked gunman Jacob Roberts opened fire in a busy Portland, Ore., mall killing two before turning the gun on himself.
Today's shooting occurred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, about 12 miles east of Danbury.
State Police received the first 911 call at 9:41a.m. and immediately began sending emergency units from the western part of the state. Initial 911 calls stated that multiple students were trapped in a classroom, possibly with a gunman, according to a Connecticut State Police source

US is the most irrationally gun-violent country imaginable so far as developed countries are concerned. A lot of crazy dysfunctional psychos is in US.it's the fact that people with poor mental health aren't receiving the proper care they need and that when they find access to a weapon, something just clicks in their head and they go and start massacres,and all of the mass killers are young men under age 25.There are two things needed in America before buying a gun must be psychologically tested and please bring back capital punishment.Outlawing guns does nothing but testing those for possible disorders might catch someone who for some reason wants a gun to hurt others.Capital punishment of death not life imprisonment might just make some of these people think twice.The worst is the tragic killing of the defenseless children is evil,Lord have mercy.
GIVE MEANING TO LIFE,NOT WAIT LIFE TO GIVE MEANING,IS LIKE A SAILING USE ANY WIND TO ANY DIRECTION
