Ten years on: Remembering the victims of the Sandy Hook school shooting | ITV News

That December day ten years ago, America confronted the unimaginable. A heavily armed gunman on the loose inside a primary school. On this grim anniversary, Sandy Hook remains a community mourning the 26 children and teachers lost on December 14, 2012. The atrocity, carried out by a 20-year-old man armed with an AR-15 semi-automatic and a Glock handgun, became a symbol for the absurdity and tragedy of America's gun laws. But Sandy Hook was not an outlier. It was a warning. In the decade since the massacre, at least 117 children and teachers have been killed while going to or from school, or in the classroom. Many such deaths don't even attract national news headlines. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Twitter:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Instagram:   / itvnews
