Dear Member,
Senseless, tragic, horrific.

No words can describe the scene first responders found at a Newtown, Conn., school where a gunman killed 26 people, 20 of whom were children — the most innocent of all victims.

Neither can words express the deep sympathies we feel for those victims, their families and the firefighters and medics charged with restoring some level of order to the chaos.

We will provide ongoing coverage of this tragedy to offer information and perspective, including original analysis below.

— From the FR1 Team
Special Coverage: Newtown School Massacre
Man kills 26 at Conn. school, including 20 kids
A gunman opened fire inside a Connecticut elementary school where his mother worked Friday, killing at least 26 people, including 20 children. He blasted his way through the building as young students cowered helplessly in classrooms while their teachers and classmates were shot. Second-deadliest school shooting

"A tough, tough situation. FF Stewart did almost exactly the wrong thing for the best of reasons. In the U.S. this could easily have led to the evidence being excluded, and the pedophile could have gotten off scott-free."
