Following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., a crowd gathered in front of the White House for an impromptu vigil and to press President Obama to move on gun control.
People held candles in remembrance of the 27 dead--including young 18 children--and signs saying "Today is the day," and "Wake up, disarm," in response to comments made by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney at the briefing Friday afternoon.
