(Reuters) - At least 27 people, including 18 children, were killed on Friday when at least one shooter opened fire at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, CBS News reported, citing unnamed officials.

If confirmed, it would be one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history. The holiday season tragedy follows a series of shooting rampages in the United States this year that have killed multiple victims, and it was certain to revive a debate about U.S. gun laws.

The principal and school psychologist were among the dead, CNN said. Witnesses reported hearing dozens of shots with some saying as many as 100 were fired.

The suspected shooter, 24, was armed with four weapons and wearing a bullet-proof vest, WABC reported.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with these people?!

This on top of a guy opening fire at a shopping mall the other day and killing some people. I don't know what the hell is wrong with people anymore.

Awful news.

As someone who comes from a country with strict gun laws I find it quite crazy how easy it is to get weapons in the US. Our laws were changed not long after the Aramoana massacre (the events depicted in Out Of The Blue) and I believe it prevented further tragedies.

Don't know what to say. I'm dumbfounded as to why we let this kind of thing happen.

This is so sad. Its horrible how people are going on these rampages. I though there was higher security at schools already. But apperently not. We need better gun control. My thoughts and prayer go out to all effected by all the recent events.

This is absolutely correct and will not in anyway put roadblocks on any citizen's path to the second amendment. Is there no ceiling on craziness?

Exactly. People can still own them. Just need to be more aware of who is allowed to own one. In my optinion guns are not the problem its some of the people who own them and how they choose to use them.

Really? So it's not the fact that people treat each other like dirt, do what they please, and have no respect for life at all? In America the people who want guns will get them no matter how legal. I know plenty of people with illegal firearms, explosives, and other instruments of destruction. This isn't a time to push political agendas, it's a time to come together and support the families involved in this tragedy.
