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.
Its 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.

Pretty sure bet that the shooter was very expert at video games and all the killing in a fantasy world. Probably accumulated years in front of the TV screen.
There are ways to post comments about the liberal media’s reaction to this event without resorting to sarcasm. I just think it is inappropriate to joke around in any manner after 18 or more little children have been slaughtered. This is too solemn an event to poison with veiled attempts at humor through the filter of sarcasm.
Yes the Media is going to try to blame gun control or the Tea Party or do anything they can to make this a political issue. Right now, however it is a tragedy which should leave most of us at a loss for words.
I frankly don’t know what to say. There’s really nothing that can be said except to raise up the families in prayer and respect the memories of those children who are the victims in this tragedy.
There is a time to laugh and a time to cry. This is one of those times where we must cry.
IMHO we need to be very careful about the tenor of our comments.
Carry on.
Heard some reporter TSK TSKing because the kids were frightened by all those weapons the police had.
Go ahead and cite one. Heck, go ahead and cite 13, which would equal the death toll of the single shooting at Columbine.
And while you're at it, make sure you cite a case where a homeschooling parent shot and killed 27 people who happened to be concentrated in single building.
If not, adopt coprophagia and go to DU.
This is strange. It seems it would be easy to determine.
The theory that video game trigger time leads to violence has been disproven.
What delusional world do you live in? Sometimes, staggeringly evil events take place and are a random act, not a component of some massive conspiracy.
Restrictive gun laws will not stop mass murders such as this tragedy. Removing insane people, such as this shooter, from the population in advance, will.
The master-minds at CBS believe if America is disarmed, events like today in Newtown CT will not happen. But of course local police, state police, federal agents, customs agents, IRS agents, arson investigators, US Marshals, Border Patrol, TSA, airline pilots, FBI agents, game wardens, federal building guards, prison guards, DEA agents, and most criminals will have guns. Right?
Revelations 13:13 “One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed, and the whole earth marveled as they followed the beast.” The DNC denied Christ three times at their convention, hmm, I wonder?
Well, yeah, but you’re putting the authority to determine who’s a possible shooter into the hands of the government...
Erase him from memory.
Erase him from memory.
Fox just reported that the shooter was 24 y/O.
What we are dealing with is a social epidemic and involves the process by which affected people are identified and dealt with.
Ah, AF, you are most mistaken........
From Drudge:
The suspected gunman in todays elementary school massacre has been identified as a 24-year-old New Jersey resident who lists his hometown as the Connecticut town in which the bloodbath occurred.
Ryan Lanza’s mother Nancy, 52, is a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where the carnage took place. He opened fire inside his mother’s classroom, where 18 students were shot.
