US President Barack Obama is due to announce that Vice-President Joe Biden will lead the response to the deadly school shootings in Connecticut.

There have been calls for gun law reform after 26 children and teachers died at Sandy Hook School in Newtown.

In remarks at the White House at 11:45 EST (16:45 GMT), Mr Obama will task Mr Biden with leading an inter-agency group to explore post-Newtown options.

Mr Obama wants to reintroduce a ban on assault weapons.

That ban lapsed under President George W Bush in 2004 and Mr Obama has previously stated his support for a reintroduction without backing a specific move to do so before now.

The president issued a call to action at a memorial service on Sunday, promising he would “use whatever power this office holds” to prevent more multiple shootings.

Mr Biden has decades of experience as a senator and analysts say that experience could be essential to getting any changes through Congress.

Changes

Some anti-gun control congressmen and senators have indicated they are prepared to consider changes to the current legislation.

The Democratic Senator for West Virginia, Joe Manchin, said on Monday that it was time to “move beyond rhetoric”.
