(Reuters/Larry Downing)"The President will also speak at an interfaith vigil for families of the victims as well as families" at 7 p.m., press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.
On Friday, an emotional Obama vowed
to "take meaningful action, regardless of the politics," to prevent
future tragedies like the shooting massacre, which killed 26 people at
the school, 20 of them children.
"Our hearts are broken today,"
Obama said in a brief statement at the White House briefing room,
frequently pausing to wipe tears from his eyes. "The majority of those
who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5
and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them: birthdays,
graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also
teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children
fulfill their dreams."
