Conn. Massacre Second-Deadliest School Shooting in U.S. History
Friday's horrific elementary school shooting in Connecticut, in which NBC News reported 18 children and 8 adults were killed, was among the deadliest school shootings in United States history, second only to the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre that took 32 lives. It comes on the heels of a tragic string of massacres in recent years. The alleged gunman in the deadly Connecticut school shooting on Friday shot and killed his mother, a teacher at the school, before gunning down students in her classroom and other adults in a rampage, the New York Times reported. The alleged gunman opened fire in the classroom where his mother taught at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, killing her and then shooting 18 students in the room, the Times said. He also shot seven other adults before killing himself, the Times said.
