The US president breaks down in tears during an emotional White House address following a deadly shooting in an elementary school.
Video: Shooting: Obama Wipes Away Tears

US President Barack Obama wept as he addressed the nation in the aftermath of the school shootings in Connecticut.
Mr Obama paused repeatedly as he struggled to keep his composure while
speaking of the children who had been killed and the milestones in their
lives they would never have - birthdays, graduations, weddings."Our hearts are broken today," he said, at times using a finger to wipe tears at the corners of his eyes.
Mr Obama said he had reacted to news of the elementary school shooting first as a parent.
He added that he and First Lady Michelle would do what any other parent in America would do - "hug our children a little tighter".
"There is not a parent in America who does not feel the same overwhelming grief I do," he said.
Mr Obama called for "meaningful action" regardless of politics.
"As a country, we have been through this too many times," he said in the televised address from the White House.
Many of those killed in the rampage were between the ages of five and 10.
