Not one person from Sandy Hook, Connecticut ever thought this sort of event would ever happen. On December 14, 2012, 20-year-old Adam Lanza fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members in a mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Before the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Lanza shot and killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at his home in Newtown, Connecticut. After the shooting, Lanza successfully committed suicide before he was detained. Which left, the state, officials, and the entire country to question why Lanza would do such a horrible act of violence to innocent children and staff members of the school. Also, questioning the security of schools, and even our country. There are many conspiracies of the
One of the most important news stories was the Connecticut School Shooting. Twenty-six people died that day, twenty of them were children. Twenty-year-old Adam Lanza was dressed in all black with a military vest on walked in the school and started shooting, killing twenty-six people. When he opened fire, teachers were rushing children in the bathrooms and closets. A kindergarten locked her door, covered the windows and started to read her children a story to keep them calm. One parent that was there said when she heard three gun shots, she ducked under the table and dialed 911, letting the teacher and vice principle walk into the halls to see what was going on. When the police arrived, they had barged one room and told the teacher and children to hide in the corner. As the police officers were evacuating the

The Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Massachusetts was one of the worst school shootings in recent memory and there were changes and precautions in security in the U.S., in schools and out. After the shooting, not just the Newtown School District changed their security, but so did most of the country. Vice President of the NRA Wayne LePierre started a movement so that there could be trained and armed volunteers in 100,000 schools.
Two of the bloodiest attacks include Sandy Hook elementary in which the gunman behind the murders of 26 people on December 14, 2012 was said to have an “obsession” with the Columbine shooting along with other mass shootings, and The Virginia Tech massacre in which the gunman referenced both columbine gunman in letters sent to the media before the attack. In more recent times it has been said that the gunman behind the tragedy at Mary Stoneman Douglas High School researched Columbine before going on to massacre 17 people and wound 15 more on February 14, 2018.Columbine also influenced the trend of unsteady journalism revolving around tragedies that still continues to this day. With the expansion of technology the media has grown immensely. With so many sources available it is easy to understand why 70% of news consumers today said they found
In my opinion, photos of Victims of the Sandy Hook Shooting should be released. The public should be allowed to see the photos so they can be informed about the chaotic problems that are occurring in society. With the photos being released to the public eye, people in society can better protect their families and friends. This will decrease the percentage rate of killings/shootings that might occur in the

On December 14, 2014, local and nation news stations all covered the breaking news story of Adam Lanza, who at the time was 20 years old, opened fire at a local elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, Sandy Hook Elementary. Adam shot and killed 20 children, 6 adults, his own mother, then killed himself. Investigators conducted a thorough investigation into Adam's life to determine motive for this tragedy. Law enforcement investigations determined that Adam had a history of mental illness. Investigations also determined that Adam had access to a full surplus of guns and weapons which feed into this obsession of guns and violence. Media coverage of the Sandy Hook Tragedy heavily reported on Adam's mental status and his obsession with guns
There are always two main factors when it comes to the crime of murder: the victims and the killer. In the article “Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting Leaves 28 Dead” and the novel In Cold Blood the authors Steve Vogel and Truman Capote, respectively, establish rhetorical devices such as tone and perspective to influence the opinions of the reader regarding both victims and murderers, while describing the crimes committed. In the novel In Cold Blood, Capote establishes a tone of pity for both the Clutter family and the killers. He includes details of the family such as Kenyon’s hope chest created for his sister's wedding and Nancy’s cherry pie lesson to create a feeling of pity and empathy for the family.
One of the worst school shootings in American history. First, in the morning Adam lanza killed his mother and then goes to the Sandy Hook school with 3 guns. Adam walked in and killed 20 kids and six adults. He then killed himself. Because of the light security, Adam lanza went in the school and then he was able to do whatever he wanted to. Because the school had low security, the shooter walked right into the school and killed lots of people.
In the tragedy of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, shooter Adam Lanza murdered 20 children and 6 teachers. Some people look at this event as a terrible tragedy because it struck them emotionally that 20 children had died. Others look at this event as a tragedy because it is rare, one of kind freak accident that definitely does not happen every day, or even years. According to nces.ed.gov, the chance of a random shooting to occur at any elementary school in the U.S is 1 in 88,962, and the chance of any elementary school child getting killed is roughly 1 in 23 million. This is less than the chance of hitting a jackpot for an average lottery which is at 1 in 15 million. Wayne LaPierre, who is the National Rifle Association’s vice
For years there has been an ongoing battle with gun safety laws throughout America. When Sandy Hook occurred, and the Las Vegas massacre, what about the two hundred and twelve school shootings that happened in America this year; we’re only in February (Cook). You would think after Virginia Tech they would have solved the problem then and none of this would have happened. Recently there was a mass shooting in a high school in Florida, this has caused an uproar leading student victims to protest and fight for gun laws. We are tired of not being able to feel safe at school or a concert. Our government is not doing enough for our safety, that is why we should come together as one force and fight for gun control.
I am not a huge believer on conspiracy theories, but there’s something odd about Sandy Hook. The amount of un-answered question, break-ups in the media, and flaws in the timeline. Nothing seemed to add up about this particular “tragedy”. The farther I dug into the story, the longer I sat there in disbelief. I was scared, confused, and most of all, angry! I couldn’t believe the government I live under, the one that is supposed to keep my family safe from certain situations is staging horrific tragedies to veer the country’s attention away from other issues.
