People around the world paused for a moment Friday morning to memorialize the 26 victims of the massacre a week ago at an elementary school in Newtown.
Adams Lanza, a 20 year old, had carried four weapons, and wore black clothing as well as a bullet proof vest and opened fire at the students of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton before shooting himself at the scene.
Police reported 27 deaths, including 20 children, six adults and the shooter, according to the Associated Press.
Unconfirmed reports say that principal Dawn Hochsprung and a school psychologist were killed, according to a parent who claimed to witness part of the attack, CNN reported.
There were approximately 626 students enrolled in kindergarten through 4th grade classes at Sandy Hook Elementary, with another 46 faculty members, Newtown Patch reported.
