    Conn. school shooting: 27 dead, including 18 children NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - An official with knowledge of a shooting at a Connecticut elementary school says 27 people are dead, including 18 children.

    The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is still under way.

    Another official, speaking on condition of anonymity for the same reason, says the gunman is among the dead.

    The killings happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, about 60 miles northeast of New York City.

    State police say Newtown police called them around 9:40 a.m. A SWAT team was among the throngs of police to respond.

    Photos from the scene showed young students - some crying, others looking visibly frightened - being escorted by adults through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other's shoulders.

    This makes me sick to my stomach. The Yahoo story says two gunmen.

    [h=1]27 People Dead, Mostly Children, at Connecticut Elementary School Shooting[/h]
    More than two dozen people, mostly elementary school children, were shot and killed at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school this morning, federal and state sources tell ABC News.
    The massacre involved two gunmen and prompted the town of Newtown to lock down all of its schools and draw SWAT teams to the school, authorities said today.
    One shooter is dead and a manhunt is on for a second gunman. Police are searching cars. One shooter was described as a 24-year-old armed with four weapons and wearing a bullet vest, sources told ABC News.

    One shooter, 20 years old, is dead. Apparently, there is another in custody.

    What's to blame? Who is to blame? Lots of questions with no good answers.

    But 27 who went to school to either learn or work won't be coming home tonight.

    ###### fine world we live in.
