THE NAMES OF CONNECTICUT SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS

Most died at the very start of their lives, just 6 or 7 years old. Others found their life’s work in sheltering them, teaching them, caring for them, treating them as their own. After the gunfire ended Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the U.S. state of Connecticut, the trail of loss was more than many could bear: 20 children and six adults at the school.


Police released the name and ages of the victims on Saturday.
