The Summary:

At least 27 people, including 18 children, are dead after a gunman release gunshots at a Newtown, Connecticut school, Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Update 1: Live coverage of the shooting is ongoing right down below, from local news affiliate WFSB:


Update 2: One little girl interviewed on TV indicated that she saw students bleeding and heard a lot of gun shots. She was rather very calm describing what she saw, which is certainly something to witness.

Update 3: Two hand guns were recovered from the scene, and part of the shootings were taken place in a kindergarden classroom. Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy is being updated on further developments.

Update 4: Now it is being reported by multiple sources that there are at least dozen to 20 bodies that have been shot and injured in this latest tragic gun incident in America.

Update 5: At least 27 bodies have been ruled dead, from CBS News. At least 14 kids and 9 adults from CBS report.

Update 6: Hartford Courant reports that an entire classroom is unaccounted for.

Update 7: Now it's definitely at least 18 children dead, as a SWAT team is in New Jersey trying to break into the home of the gunman reportedly. It is being reported by some that he drove up to Newtown, Connecticut to do his heinous actions. He was 20.

Update 8 for commentary: Two guns at the scene, and the individual has reportedly taken his own life or been killed by police. Every shooting anywhere is a tragedy, and this certainly ranks in terms of mass shooting as arguably the worst gunshooting in an American school, even beyond Columbine.

Update 9: Now CNN is reporting that the death toll could be at 30.

Update 10: If it couldn't get more harrowing, one of the teachers at Sandy Hook was the gunman's mother, as reported by CBS News.

Update 11: After Obama's emotional speech, the Associated Press is reporting that Ryan Lanza's girlfriend and another friend are missing in New Jersey.

Update 12: It's being identified now that it is Adam Lanza and not his brother Ryan Lanza that is the shooter. But either way, damage has been done.
