Nation Reacts To CT Elementary School Shooting [VIDEO]
Twenty-six people were killed, 20 of them children, after a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The shooter, is also dead. A tearful President Obama addressed the nation Friday afternoon.
FOX News Radio’s Mike Majchrowitz reports from the White House:
Clearly struggling with the words — President Obama sought to bring comfort to a nation all too familiar with violence and tragedy.
(Obama) �We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years.�
At times pausing for composure and wiping away a tear, the President shared the grief of the fellow parents who lost children on this dark day.
(Obama) �I know there is not a parent in America who doesn’t feel the same overwhelming grief that I do.�
President Obama did not pursue gun control legislation in his first term, but in what may be a harbinger of things to come he said the nation must come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies regardless of politics.�
