    any other small suburban town; quiet, quaint and safe. That was until a twenty-four year old “sociopath” (Alexander, Barrett, Donnelly, Swaine), by the name of Adam Lanza, put this charming town on the map, and not for a decent notable reason. Sandy Hook Elementary School educates students’ grades kindergarten through fifth and Lanza forced his way into the kindergarten and first grade level rooms.

At the end of the
