[0:03] hurt innocent children. I just don't get

[0:06] that. What did those poor babies do to

[0:08] you? That's the hard part. There's 20

[0:10] parents that were just told that their

[0:12] children are dead.

[0:13] >> It's a tragedy. It's a tragic scene.

[0:15] >> It is a tragedy for the nation. A gunman

[0:20] kindergarten.

[0:21] >> Beautiful little kids between the ages

[0:22] of 5 and 10 years old.

[1:15] of the victims were as young as 5 years

[1:17] old. President Obama said today what
