Horrific gun violence in the United States.
20 children, six adults, and a gunman are dead following a shooting rampage this morning at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
Police have confirmed the gunman has been found dead inside the school.
The mother of the suspected gunman taught at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and is among the dead.
A tearful President Obama has now addressed the nation.
Obama says when he got word of the shooting, he reacted not as President, rather, as a parent.
He says there is not a parent in America who doesn't feel the same "overwhelming grief" that he does.
There seems to be some confusion as to the identity of the shooting in the Newtown school rampage.
The BBC is now reporting the suspect is 20 year old Adam Lanza, not his older brother Ryan, as had been earlier reported.
