A call for a moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. this morning to reflect on the killings one week ago in Newtown, Conn. is growing.
The movement began when Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy asked people across his state to observe a moment of silence and places of worship and buildings with bells have been asked to ring them 26 times, for the victims at the school.
President Barack Obama said he plans to observe a moment of silence at the White House on Friday morning in honor of the victims of the Connecticut elementary school massacre.
The White House says the president will observe the moment of silence out of respect for the Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which 20 children and six adults were killed at the school.
Obama has asked Vice President Joe Biden to produce recommendations on new gun laws by next month and pledged to push new legislation without delay.
The White House said the president's observance of the shootings would take place in private without press coverage.
And New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has signed an executive order for a statewide moment of silence for the victims of the Connecticut school shooting.
Locally, some municipal and count officials said they would participate.
