The Sandy Hook School Shooting will forever be burned into our memories as Americans. The murder of so many innocent children. As of November 30th, 2012, 456 children were enrolled in kindergarten through fourth grade at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The school's security protocols had recently been upgraded, requiring visitors to be individually admitted after visual and identification review by video monitor.
Doors to the school were locked at 9:30 AM each day, after morning arrivals. Newtown is in Fairfield County, Connecticut, about 60 miles from New York City. Violent crime had been rare in the town of 28,000 residents; there was only one homicide in the town in the ten years before the school shooting. Under Connecticut law at the time, the 20-year-old Lanza was old enough to carry a long gun, such as a rifle or shotgun, but too young to own or carry handguns. The guns he used had been purchased legally by his mother.
