Connecticut lawmakers have approved wide-ranging legislation in response to last year’s deadly school shooting in Newtown.

Police in Connecticut have said the gunman who killed 20 children at a school in America was "remote" and may have suffered from a personality disorder.

Hundreds of people have attended a church vigil in Connecticut to remember the victims of the school shooting that left 27 people dead.

The head of the Connecticut primary school devastated by a shooting rampage was among the victims, an official said today.
