NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Authorities in Newtown, Conn. are trying to piece together details about Adam Lanza to see if there are clues as to why he killed 26 children and adults at an elementary school.

Police, so far, have shed no light on a possible motive for the nation’s second-deadliest school shooting. Lanza also killed his mother and himself. There are suggestions he had a personality disorder.

 

UNDATED (AP) — Experts say parents should allow children to talk about their feelings in the wake of the Connecticut school shootings. They also say kids should be sheltered from the 24/7 media coverage of the massacre. The killings have left parents wondering what, if anything, to tell their children. Experts say it’s OK to say you don’t know why it happened.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has used his weekly media message to again offer sympathy and condolences over the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. He says parents everywhere are “heavy with hurt.” He says the country grieves for the victims and prays for the parents of those who survived who know “their child’s innocence has been torn away far too early.” Republicans ceded their time so that Obama could speak for the nation.
