connecticut shooting

The NRA held a press conference in which it blamed violent video games and the entertainment industry in general for the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.

Lanza's rampage began when he shot and killed his mother, Nancy, at her home before he drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed six adults and 20 children before taking his own life.
