Google Homepage Offers Solemn Vigil for Newtown, Conn.

In the wake of the Friday shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., Google quietly sent its own thoughts to the victims, with a subtle single candle on its homepage.

"Our hearts are with the families and community of Newtown, Connecticut," says text as you hover over the candle.

A gunman, identified as Adam Lanza who was reportedly dead at the scene, opened fire in the school, killing 27 people, including 20 children. The photo above shows mourners inside St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church during a vigil service for victims late Friday.
