This could be the deadliest elementary school shooting in US history. 32 people were killed at VaTech in 2007.

Was just passed by an ambulance on 84, presumably heading to the scene of this morning's shooting in Newtown.

SWAT team member just walked by with an assault rifle. No indication of whether the suspect's been captured. Dead or alive?

Parent says that kids are being "pulled out" of the school by class. A class of fourth-graders just emerged, he says.
