President Obama clearly struggled to maintain his composure as he addressed the nation from the White House in one of the most poignant moments of his presidency.
The moving press conference was held in the "James S. Brady Press Briefing Room," named in 2000 in honor of the former White House press secretary, James Brady, who was shot and disabled in the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981.
Mr Brady and his wife, Sarah, have become activists for gun control.
Two of Mr Obama's senior aides cried and held hands as they listened to the grim-faced president telling the country that "our heats are broken today," and expressing his "overwhelming grief" at a "heinous crime."
