Massacre of the innocents

One of the worst school shootings in US history has left 20 children and eight adults dead. The children were all aged between five and 10.

Adam Lanza, aged 20, the son of a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School, drove to the building in his mother’s car.

He brought three guns, walked into the school, and began firing into classrooms. His mother, Nancy, is believed to have been one of his victims.
