Dear Commons Community,
One parent at the scene of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School commented: “I just want to hug my child today” summed up the feelings of many whose children were not the victims of the lone gunman who killed 27 innocents yesterday.
The initial stories were conflicting but it appears that:
The gunman, Adam Lanza, had a personality disorder whose mother might have worked at the school.
He killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, in the home he shared with her before going to the Sandy Hook School.
The first reports erroneously had Lanza’s older brother, Ryan, as the gunman.
The principal and school psychologist were among those killed.
There are a number of stories of teachers who bravely sacrificed their own safety for the children.
President Obama and the rest of the country shed tears.
Tony
