Adam lanza where comes from?18 children and seven adults killed in school


Authorities found 18 children and seven adults, including the gunman, dead at the school, and two children were pronounced dead later after being taken to a hospital. Another adult was found dead at a related crime scene in Newton  bringing the total death toll including the gunman to 28, state police Lieutenant Paul Vance said.As reports of the shooting spread, panicked parents rushed to the school searching for their children as students covered in blood were being carried out of the building.President Barack Obama, wiping away tears and pausing to collect his emotions in an address to the nation, mourned the “beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old” who were killed.“Our hearts are broken today, for the parents, and grandparents, sisters and brothers of these little children and for the families of the adults who were lost,” Obama said, his voice cracking.“Our hearts are broken for the parents of the survivors as well, for as blessed as they are to have their children home tonight, they know that their children’s innocence has been torn away from them too early and there are no words that will ease their pain,” said Obama, who has two young daughters.Other media reports said the gunman’s mother was found dead at a house nearby.Adam Lanza’s brother, Ryan Lanza, was “either in custody or being questioned,” a law enforcement source said.The 20-year-old gunman, who law enforcement sources identified as Adam Lanza, fired what witnesses described as dozens of shots at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton  Connecticut, which serves children from ages 5 to 10.The gunman was dead inside the school, Vance said. The Times reported he used a Sig Saucer and a G lock  both handguns, and said police also found at the scene a Bushmaster .223 M4 carbine, a rifle, that they believe belonged to him.The holiday season tragedy was the second shooting rampage in the United States this week and the latest in a series of mass killings this year, and was certain to revive a debate about US gun laws.
