President Obama spoke about the shooting at a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school that killed at least 26 children and adults. President Obama, pausing at times to steady his voice, said, “Our hearts are broken today,” and “We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years, and each time I hear the news I react not as a president but as anyone else would, as a parent.” He offered condolences to survivors and the families of the victims, and quoted from Scripture to “heal the broken-hearted and bind up their wounds.” close
