In what ranks as one of the worst shootings in US history, 27 people were killed today in a Connecticut school shooting, including 18 kids between the ages of 5 and 10. The gunman was the son of one of the teachers who taught at the school. He shot and killed his mother and then killed himself.

In a special address to the nation, President Obama said "we've endured too many of these tragedies."

The police just had a press conference and I believe they were unwilling to confirm this.
