The NRA Twitter feed went silent on 12.14.2012 after Adam Lanza killed 20-30 persons at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

The NRA page at 6:54pm on 12.14:

The New York Times now reports that:

Eighteen children were killed on Friday morning in a shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., about 65 miles northeast of New York City, according to a person who had been briefed on the shooting. Another law enforcement official said preliminary reports suggested there could be as many as 20 fatalities, ranking it among the worst mass killings in United States history.
