Yahoo! News UK - President Obama reacts to the news of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. He later said it was the "worst day of my Presidency" (Pete Souza/The White House)
Arms folded and his eyes closed in grief and solemn reflection, this
poignant image shows the exact moment President Obama was told of the Sandy
Hook shootings in the White House.
The picture, released by the White House on
Thursday, shows Obama being informed of the massacre by a member of staff on
December 14.
President Obama has since described that day, in which 20
children and six adults were shot dead, as 'the worst of my presidency'.
The
image of the grief-stricken president was released as the surviving children
from the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, returned to school.
Youngsters who escaped the massacre were seen returning to class having
been relocated to another school in a nearby town. As their old school is still
a crime scene, more than 400 pupils are now being taught at a school, formerly
known as Chalk Hill School, in the neighboring town of Monroe.
