Newtown

Twenty-eight are dead including 20 children at an elementary school in Connecticut on Friday after 20-year-old Adam Lanza opened fire inside the building where his mother Nancy was a teacher.

A tearful President Barack Obama said Friday he grieved first as a father about the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, declaring, "Our hearts are broken today." He called for "meaningful action" to prevent such shootings but did not say what it should be.
