Connecticut Mass Shooting: At Least 27 Dead in Horrific School Shooting

by Alex Thomas

In what most likely will go down as the worst school shooting in American history, at least 27 people, including up to 18 children, have been killed after a gunman (or two) opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

Multiple news outlets are reporting different numbers in regards to how many have been shot and killed but it has been confirmed that at least 18 children have been killed.

On top of that, the Hartford Courant is reporting that an entire classroom of children is still unaccounted for.

An official with knowledge of Connecticut school shooting tells the Associated Press that 27 people are dead, including 18 children.

Many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom, sources toldthe Hartford Courant.

The Atlantic Wire is reporting a similar death toll and also the claim that an entire classroom could be gone.

12:50 p.m.: The Courant reports that “One entire classroom is unaccounted for outside the school” though isn’t clear if that means they are missing, or gathered somewhere else.

12:39 p.m.: John Miller of CBS News says 27 people are dead, including 14 children. Miller also report the suspect was about 20 years old, possibly a parent of a student.

12:37 p.m.: Parents interviewed by ABC-TV say that under normal conditions, anyone enter the school during the day must be ring a bell and be let inside by school officials, suggesting that the gunman was known, possibly a parent.

Residents in the area are obviously stunned, with many disbelieving that something like this could even happen in the picturesque town of a little over 27,000.

“I can’t believe — in a small town like this — we’ve never had anything like this happen,” her father told a local CNN affiliate WTNH. “I was pretty shaken up. I did not know who or what happened.”

“It doesn’t seem possible,” said Alexa’s mother. “You have something happen so close to home. … I guess I’m still in shock.”

In the first reports by the Atlantic Wire, witnesses had reported at least two shooters but, as with almost every single mass shooting in American history, the media is pushing towards the lone gunman narrative.

NBC News is also reporting that second suspect may be in custody.

Clarification on the NBC report: Person in custody, may be second individual connected to CT school shooting (not two in custody)

Multiple corporate media reports indicate that the suspect was in his 20′s, had up to 4 guns, and was wearing a bullet proof vest.

He may have been a father of one of the students at the school.

1:20 p.m.: ABC News is reporting that 1 shooter was a 24-year-old in a bulletproof vest and four guns.

Obviously this is one of the most horrific shootings in history and, sadly, this tragedy will be used to further push for more gun control. (putting guns into the hands of criminals and keeping them out of law-abiding citizens)

Globalist operatives such as Michael Bloomberg are SURE to use this horrible tragedy to further attempt to restrict the American people’s right to bare arms.

Update:  According to a report on CNN, a man in camouflage gear has been taken out of the woods in handcuffs near the school.

This is a huge development as it shows that there were most likely at least two suspects. It is possible that the second arrest will be completely covered up in the near future.
