Obama CRIES Connecticut Shooting MASSACRE Leaves 27 Dead 20 Children 7 Adults GUNMAN Adam Lanza
NEWTOWN, Conn. -- A lone gunman killed 26 people at an elementary school here, including 20 children, in a terrifying Friday morning shooting spree that rocked this genteel community.
The shooter was identified by the Associated Press as Adam Lanza, 20, who was found dead inside Sandy Hook Elementary School of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At least three weapons were recovered at the scene, including a .223-caliber assault rifle from the back of a car and two semiautomatic handguns found near Lanza. His 24-year-old brother, Ryan, of Hoboken, N.J., was being questioned by authorities.
A law enforcement official -- briefed on the situation but asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak publicly -- said that Nancy Lanza, the shooter's 52-year-old mother and Sandy Hook kindergarten teacher, was among those killed.
Authorities say an adult victim was found at Nancy Lanza's home, but would not confirm the identity. Details about what transpired at the school and the Newton home remained sketchy several hours after the shootings, which began at about 9:30 a.m., shortly after classes began. State Police Lt. Paul Vance said authorities were still examining the gruesome crime scene and determining victims' identities and piecing together the sequence of events.

A man with a semi-automatic rifle killed at least four people and wounded several others Friday as he carried out a deadly rampage across several blocks of a normally idyllic beachfront city before police shot him dead in the Santa Monica College Library.
Police said earlier that seven people were killed, including the gunman.
The violence began when the gunman, dressed in all black and wearing what appeared to be a ballistic jacket, opened fire on a house where the bodies of the gunman's father and brother were found, authorities said.
As the house burst into flames, the man wounded a woman in a car before moving toward the campus, spraying bullets as he went. Police said he opened fire on a city bus, a police car and other vehicles, as well as bystanders and pedestrians.
He killed three people on the street before shooting at an SUV leaving a campus parking lot. That vehicle's driver was killed and two passengers were wounded as the car crashed through a block wall.
From there, the gunman entered the campus, shooting a woman as he made his way toward the college's library, where students were studying for final exams.
'It appears that those who were encountered on the street were random victims,' Santa Monica Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks said.
'We saw a woman get shot in the head,' said administrative assistant Trena Johnson, who looked out the window of the dean's office, where sh

Ryan Lanza traveled to Sandy Hook Elementary School to murder his mother Nancy, age 52.
Lanza and another shooter left 27 total dead, 18 were children.
Lanza turned a gun on himself and his body was found in that kindergarten room.
There were two dead bodies at the home of his mother, but it’s unclear if one was his mother or whether she was at school. The latter appears more likely based on details reported at this point.
His father, Peter Lanza has also been found dead.
The official also said Ryan Lanza’s girlfriend and another friend are missing in New Jersey.
The principal of the school, Dawn Hochsprung and one member of the administration have been identified as part of the deceased.

President Barack Obama Speech On Connecticut School Shooting (Cries)
Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old who killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut this morning, was 'obviously not well,' a relative told ABC News.
Family friends in Newtown also described the young man as troubled and described his mother Nancy as very rigid. '[Adam] was not connected with the other kids,' said one friend.
Late today, police said Nancy Lanza's body was found in the family home. According to sources, Lanza shot his mother in the face, then left the house armed with at least two semi-automatic handguns and a semi-automatic rifle.
State and federal authorities believe his mother may have once worked at the elementary school where Adam went on his deadly rampage, although she was not a teacher, according to relatives, perhaps a volunteer.
As part of the investigation authorities searched the New Jersey apartment of Adam's older brother Ryan in Hoboken, New Jersey.
Police had initially identified Ryan as the killer, until he sent out a series of Facebook posts saying it wasn't him and that he was at work all day.
Sources told ABC News that Ryan, 24, works as a senior person in Ernst and Young's tax practice in Manhattan.
'He's a tax guy and he is clean as a whistle,' a source familiar with hi

27 Killed Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting Newtown Connecticut 18 Children 9 Adults Dead
A lone gunman killed 26 people at an elementary school here, including 18 children, in a terrifying early Friday morning shooting spree.
The Associated Press and local media reported the shooter, an unidentified adult male, was also dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Two handguns were recovered at the scene. Mayor Mark Boughton said several victims had been taken to local hospitals.
Groups of students — some crying, some holding hands — were being escorted away from the school by their teachers. Some witnesses reported of up to 100 shots.
The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School is the latest in a series mass shootings in the U.S. this year, including Tuesday's assault by a lone gunman at a Portland, OR., shopping mall that left two dead and one wounded.
Sandy Hook is in a residential, wooded neighborhood about 90 minutes north of New York City. It has has 39 teachers and about 650 students. A reverse 911 call went out to parents warning of an incident. Parents were being reunited with children. But, NBC Connecticut reported, police were searching the area behind the school with guns drawn.
Terese Lestik was relieved to find her five year old daughter, Eva, unharmed.
'I heard a boom-boom,'' Eva said of the gunshots she heard earlier.
