School Shooting Update: Shooter's Mother was Teacher

Friday, 14 December 2012 10:06

A law enforcement official says the suspect in the U.S. school shooting is 24-year-old Ryan Lanza and that his younger brother is being held for questioning as a possible second shooter. The law enforcement official says the boys' mother, Nancy Lanza, works at the Connecticut school as a teacher. The official also said Ryan Lanza's girlfriend and another friend are missing in New Jersey. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the developing criminal investigation. Meantime, U-S President Barack Obama says "our hearts are broken today.'' A visibly emotional Obama held a news conference this afternoon, in the wake of the horrific mass shooting. Obama says as a country, this has happened too many times and it's time to take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of politics. Twenty-seven people are dead, including 18 children. Obama says most of the victims were beautiful little children between the ages of five and 10.
