OMG 27 DEAD!!! 17 ARE KIDS WTF. ERRRRRRRRRRRRR NOW LIKELY ONLY ONE SHOOTER MEDIA NEEDS TO GET IT STRAIGHT THEN REPORT.

Twenty-seven people, including 18 children, have been killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, according to the Associated Press.

The Hartford Courant reports that many of the shootings took place in a kindergarten classroom.

One entire classroom is unaccounted for, sources told the newspaper.

A person believed to be a shooter is dead. Earlier reports of a second shooter were not confirmed.
Three people were taken to Danbury Hospital, but their condition was unknown. The emergency room was on lockdown.

Around noon, the triage area in front of the school was broken down, stretchers were taken away and the SWAT team left the building.

Shortly after 9:40 a.m., police reported that a shooter was in the main office of the school. A person in one room had “numerous gunshot wounds,” police said.

Groups of students — some crying, some holding hands — were being escorted away from the school by their teachers.

A staging area was set up at the Sandy Hook Fire Department, directly in front of the school.

One child leaving the school told the Courant that there was shattered glass everywhere.

A police officer ran into the classroom and told them to run outside and keep going until the reach the firehouse.

School and local emergency officials are accounting for the children, who will be released to their parents to get them home.

Dozens of state troopers were on the scene assisting local police. Check back for updates on this developing story.
