President Obama heads to Newtown Sunday for vigil NEWTOWN, Conn., Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Police sought a motive in the Newtown, Conn., school massacre that killed 26 -- including 20 children -- as the town prepared for a visit by President Obama. The president was to meet with stricken families and responders and attend a private vigil Sunday night, the White House said. Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed six adults and 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Friday before turning his gun on himself. His mother, Nancy, was found dead in their home. Authorities have been working since Friday to come up with any motive for the shootings, The Hartford (Conn.) State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance said investigators have found some "very good evidence" at the school and the Lanza home. Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy addressed the state via TV Saturday night, saying: "What's important right now is this: love, courage, and compassion." The president of the Connecticut Funeral Directors Association told The Courant that more than 60 funeral directors have volunteered to help the families of the victims bury their dead and caskets and vaults were being donated as well. The White House announced Saturday that Obama would travel to Newtown Sunday for private meetings with family members and responders and attend a private vigil scheduled for 7 p.m.
