"On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza, age 20, fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members and wounded two at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the village of Sandy Hook in the town of Newtown, Connecticut. Before driving to the school, Lanza had shot and killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their Newtown home.After killing students and staff members, Lanza committed suicide by shooting himself in the head as first responders arrived."
I took this quote directly from Wikipedia. It was such a tragic and sad thing to have happen anytime, but especially right before Christmas. I feel so sorry for the families who lost children and loved ones in this shooting. The shooter shot an entire class of 1st graders - 6 year olds! I don't even want to blog about this, but unfortunately, it is part of history and that's what I use my blog for.
As I was holding Sadie during Kylie and Lexi's Hip Hop Concert, I couldn't help but shed a few tears thinking about the parents and grandparents who weren't able to hug their little 6 year olds that night. I'm so thankful for the safety and protection of our family and I pray constantly for continued safety for each one of these blessings in our lives.
