Today marks 10 years since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that killed 20 children and six adults. We're hearing from survivors and families who lost their loved ones.
Wednesday marks 10 years since a gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and took the lives of 20 children and six adults.
Now keeping with Newtown's tradition, there are no official town or family ceremonies. Instead, people are asked to mark the tragedy with peaceful reflection. Back on Dec. 14, 2012, 20 children and six staff members did not return home after a gunman walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. and opened fire.
Nicole Hockley lost her 6-year-old son Dylan. She says she's proud to have turned her grief into advocacy. Through her organization Sandy Hook Promise, Hockley says they have prevented 11 school shootings and hundreds of suicides by training students and educators to report early warning signs of violence.
