Default re: Kids Return to School & Tribute PHOTOs of Dead-Mass Shooting

PHOTO's from BBC World News:
In Pictures: Mass Shooting at School in Connecticut



Newtown in the US state of Connecticut has reacted with shock at a mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. As many as 27 people - including 18 children - are reported dead.


Anxious family members gathered outside the school to await news.

.


One parent said his child's teacher locked the door to the classroom after hearing the shots, and moved all the children in to one corner of the room where they stayed until they were rescued by the police.


The local newspaper, The Newtown Bee, posted this photo of frightened children being escorted away by police.

.


Police said the gunman was dead inside the school, and an investigation into the shooting had begun. There were reports that two handguns
had been recovered.



US TV networks identified the gunman as Ryan Lanza, 24, reported to be living in New Jersey. According to reports, his mother was a teacher found among the dead at the school.



The shooting sparked a huge police operation, with a large area around the school cordoned off



Authorities have not given an indication of the motives of the gunman, but investigations are continuing both in Connecticut and outside the state.




Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, seen here on the right, is meeting the families of some of the victims.

END

There are more photos, but I am not going to post them. They are upsetting and too intrusive,
especially those of the parents and families of the children that were murdered, being helped away from the scene. There are no words of condolences, that one can express, to ease their pain.


Sleep well little children, you are in a safe place now, playing with the Angels.
