It was a SHOCK to me even as a Gun Victims Advocate. I was there during Columbine, Virginia State, even Canada's Danzig street and Eaton Center. I even saw the Adamawa student massacre in Nigeria in October 2012 with 40 dead, 23 gunned down and the rest throats slit. Mass shootings are killing the world and our families. Lets all END GUN VIOLENCE!
Connecticut State Police have released the names of the 26 victims. All 20 of the children who were killed were ages 6 and 7 and among them were 8 boys and 12 girls. The victims' names and ages are:
Dawn Hochsprung (principal), 47
Mary Sherlach (school psychologist), 56
Victoria Soto (first grade teacher), 27
Charlotte Bacon, 6
Daniel Barden, 7
Rachel Davino, 29
Olivia Engel, 6
Josephine Gay, 7
Ana M. Marquez-Greene, 6
Dylan Hockley, 6
Madeline F. Hsu, 6
Catherine V Hubbard, 6
Chase Kowalski, 7
Jesse Lewis, 6
James Mattioli, 6
Grace McDonnell, 7
Anne Marie Murphy, 52

Noah Pozner, 6
Caroline Previdi, 6

As we remember the victims, it is also clear that there a number of heroes as well. First grade teacher, Victoria Soto threw herself in front of her first grade students to protect them from Lanza. Although those students witnessed their teacher, who they adored, tragically shot in front of them, they were able to run out of the room and survived.
