At least 27 people are dead – including 18 children – after a gunman believed to be a student’s father opened fire today at an elementary school in Connecticut.

Police were dispatched to Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown after they received reports of shots being fired by a gunman in one of the kindergarten classrooms of the school at 9.35am.

There are preliminary reports a student’s 20-year-old father was the shooter and that he went from classroom to classroom firing at students and teachers with a .223-caliber rifle.

An entire classroom of students is unaccounted for and frantic parents are desperately seeking information on the safety of their children.

The gunman is dead and his body still at the scene, though it is unclear if he shot himself or was brought down by an officer. A second man who was seen running from the scene right after the shooting was taken into custody a few hours later.

One mother told CBS that her child said there were bullets ‘whizzing by’ him in the hallway and that a teacher pulled him into a classroom.

The shooting is the latest in a series of high-profile gun crimes in American schools and colleges, that is especially shocking given the age of the students involved

Speaking with MSNBC, one mother said she had heard the principal had been shot dead.

‘The principal was killed and some other people were shot,’ the unidentified woman said outside the school.

Her daughter added: ‘Miss Martin closed the door and we went into the corner’, before the gunman let out ‘lots of shots’.
