Worst school shootings in United States leaves 27 people killed most of them children

Connecticut school shooting: America's worst school shootings, massacre at Sandy Hook. At least 27 people have been killed in a mass shooting at an elementary school in the United States.

A teacher’s son killed his mother and 20 young children, many of them in her class, in America’s worst mass school shooting. The gunman walked into his mother Nancy Lanza’s classroom at around 9.30am and opened fire. He used weapons including two handguns, a Glock and a Sig Sauer, and a .233 Bushmaster rifle was found in the back of a car at the school.

President Barack Obama noticeably Tearful mourns kids of Sandy Hook Elementary:

President Obama's Words:

"The majority of those who died today were children - beautiful, little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them - birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams.

So our hearts are broken today for the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children, and for the families of the adults who were lost.

Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors, as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early and there are no words that will ease their pain."
