Conn. town inundated with gifts, money

NEWTOWN, Conn. – Newtown’s children were showered with gifts Saturday – tens of thousands of teddy bears, Barbie dolls, soccer balls and board games – and those are only some of the tokens of support from around the world for the town in mourning.

Just a little over a week ago, 20 children and six school employees were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Twenty-year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, attacked the school, then killed himself.
