There was breaking news this morning out of Newtown, Connecticut when at least one gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School. CBS News is reporting that a minimum of 27 people were killed in this massacre, including an estimated 18 young children.
A state police spokesperson just held a press conference to assure concerned citizens that "the scene is secure" and "the shooter is deceased inside the building."
