NEWTOWN, Conn. (CBS Connecticut/AP) — CBS News is reporting that 27 people are dead, including 18 students, after a mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. The gunman is among the dead.
CBS News’ John Miller reports there is preliminary information that the gunman was the father of one of the students. Miller additionally reports the gunman is 20 years old and is from New Jersey.
The shooter was killed and apparently had two guns, a person with knowledge of the shooting said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was still under way. It is not known whether the shooter took his own life or was killed.
CBS News reports that a second person is in custody and that SWAT is now investigating the home of the suspect.
A witness tells WFSB-TV that a second man was taken out of the woods in handcuffs wearing a black jacket and camouflage pants and telling parents on the scene, “I did not do it.”
Fox Connecticut reports that the shooting began in the kindergarten classroom.
“It’s just a bad situation,” Newtown Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Stoyak told CBS 2.
Two students and a teacher were also injured in the shooting and they were taken to Dansbury Hospital, spokeswoman Diane Burke told CBS News York.

“The shooter was 20 y/o and had an elementary school child? How did that turn out badly? “
He had the kid when he was 16? They did say most kids hurt/killed were in Kindergarten. That would fit.

Considering the event that is being reported, I don't think sarcasm is appropriate.

Just found out that my great niece was in the school. She is home safe.
I'm shaken just knowing she was there. I can't imagine how the parents feel.

BTW, previous post is not meant to ID this as a Muslim attack, it's meant to point out that most Americans have no thought enter their minds that their kids spend every weekday in a location where they would be easy targets and no one will be in a position to defend them.

‘Grandchildren at 32’ — yes, you bet. When I had our son, my roommate was about 18 and her mom, the new grandma, was 38 or so. (As was I).
