There is only one story tonight. You know what it is. We have new details to tell you about, but we are not gonna pretend we understand it any better than we did right after it happened. It is a horror beyond words. An elementary school, kids as young as five years old, the second deadliest school shooting ever in this country. Twenty little children, seven adults killed plus the shooter who apparently took his own life, all in a close-knit quiet community about 90 minutes’ drive from New York. We are gonna give you all the latest information tonight, but what we won’t do is repeat the shooter’s name over and over again as has been done throughout the day. We don’t want history to remember this murderer. We want history to remember the victims, the teachers, the children, those whose lives have been so unfairly taken. We’ve got a team of correspondents working on this tragedy, including our Soledad O’Biren, who is on the scene. Soledad? Anderson, a vigil was held tonight. The people of Newtown try to come to grips with what happened here really just behind us this morning. But right now, right now, there is still an active crime scene, and that means many of the bodies are lying still where they fell inside that school, including the body of the killer. We do want to at least tell you his name. It’s Adam Lanza, but as Anderson said, we will not gonna be repeating it much tonight at all. He was 20 years old, his mother taught at the school. She was found dead at the family home. It’s unclear exactly how she died or she died.
Soledad, the idea that those kids are still in the school, I mean, it is such a horrific image to think it about tonight, and for the parents not to have been able to see their children so far.
Yes. The police say it’s an active crime scene and they are told us that they thought by Sunday, they would be able to have the crime scene part of it and the investigation at least that portion of the wrapped up. But now we’re getting told that actually it might be even as soon as tomorrow morning. But as you can imagine, I mean, imagine already knowing your child has perished inside that school and you can’t even go and get the body, it would be a horrific thing.
Let’s hope the children are brought home soon. We do know that the mother of the shooter legally purchased the weapons that were used. HLN’s Rita Cosby reports that he broke his way through the front door into the school, two semiautomatic handguns and a military-style M-16 clone called a Bushmaster. We also know that police today in Hoboken, New Jersey, took the killer’s older brother in for question, they did not label him a suspect. No word at his hour whether he is still in custody. There’s a lot to tell you about right now this hour. Let’s just start at the beginning.
All units, the individual I have on the phone continuing to hear what he believes to be gunfire.
The first word was chilling. It only got worse.
They are reporting multiple fatalities involved in the shooting at the elementary school.
With each new report, the horror deepened.
The reports say the number of dead closer to 30 than to 20 and sadly most of them are children.
Every detail, every fact brought more sadness. Each fresh piece of information, a part of the picture, a school, kindergarten through fourth grade, a sanctuary that was supposed to be a place of safety torn apart.
She heard, the intercom come on the school and heard a scream and she heard a gunshot. Tow gunshots, then the school went into locked down.
A student’s teenage big brother describing the sounds of a gunmen on the loose at Sandy Hook Elementary.
On and off duty troopers responded to the school and with Newtown police immediately upon arrival entered the school and began a complete active shooter search of the building.
They arrived to carnage and the killer says a law enforcement source with detailed knowledge was dressed for battle in black fatigues and armed for mass murder with two pistols and a military-style rifle. In parts of the school, students were told to hide in corners. Teachers risked their own lives to pull boys and girls to safety. |
