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
at a Connecticut school this morning, prompting the town of Newtown to lock
down all of its schools and draw SWAT teams to the school, authorities said
today.
State Police confirm that one
shooter is dead. A second gunman is apparently at large. Car-to-car searches
are underway.
It’s unclear how many people have
been shot, but 25 people, mostly children are dead, multiple federal and state
sources tell ABC News. That number could rise, officials said.
It is the worst shooting in a U.S.
elementary school in recent memory.
The shooting comes just three days
after masked gunman Jacob Roberts opened fire in a busy Portland, Ore., mall
killing two before turning the gun on himself.
Today’s shooting occurred at the
Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, about 12 miles east of Danbury.

State Police source.

While some students have been
reunited with their parents on the school’s perimeter, one group of students
remains unaccounted for, according to a source with a child in the school.
The school is kindergarten through
fourth grade.
Three patients have been taken to
Danbury Hospital, which is also on lockdown, according to the hospital’s
Facebook page.
“Out of abundance of caution and
not because of any direct threat Danbury Hospital is under lockdown,” the statement
said. “This allows us simply to focus on the important work at hand.”
Newtown Public School District
secretary of superintendent Kathy June said in a statement that the district’s
school were locked down because of the report of a shooting. “The district is
taking preventive measures by putting all schools in lockdown until we ensure
the safety of all students and staff.”
State police sent SWAT team units
to Newtown.
All public and private schools in
the town are on lockdown.
“We have increased our police
presence at all Danbury Public Schools due to the events in Newtown. Pray for
the victims,” Newtown Mayor Boughton tweeted.
State emergency management
officials said ambulances and other units were also en route and staging near
the school.
A message on the school district
website says that all afternoon kindergarten is cancelled today and there will
be no mid-day bus runs.

This is another horrendous gov black ops -- a major MSM event against children to be used to advance police state take-over and to cover up the other drastic events occurring. This is a Gladio psy-ops strategy of tension being done to Americans. At this point I am thoroughly disgusted with WRH's Rivero who keeps blaming anti-depressant drug use as the sole reason shooters are insanely killing. He is a protector of the gov/military controllers behind these planned shootings by doing that. By refusing to place blame where it belongs, he is actually aiding those who are really responsible. His type of propaganda at WRH is a popular form of disinformation.
