A Connecticut state commission released a draft report of recommendations to prevent future school shootings.  

The families of nine of the 26 people killed and a teacher injured at the Sandy Hook Elementary School filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor and seller of the rifle used in the shooting.

While large-scale and dramatic acts of school violence have drawn a public focus to safety concerns in U.S. schools, violent deaths at school remain statistically rare, says a government report.
