THIS DAY IN HISTORY – Sandy Hook shooting occurs in Newtown, Connecticut – 2012

Via History.com

On this day in 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, Adam Lanza killed 20 first graders and six school employees before turning a gun on himself. Earlier that day, he killed his mother at the home they shared.

The Sandy Hook shooting was, at the time, the second-deadliest mass shooting in the United States after the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech, in which a gunman killed 32 students and teachers before committing suicide.

Shortly after 9:30 a.m., 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot through a plate-glass window next to Sandy Hook’s locked front entrance in order to gain access to the school. Hearing the noise, the school principal and school psychologist went to investigate and were shot and killed by Lanza, who was armed with a semiautomatic rifle, two semiautomatic pistols and multiple rounds of ammunition. Lanza also shot and wounded two other Sandy Hook staff members.

He then entered two first-grade classrooms, where he gunned down two teachers and 15 students in one room and two teachers and five students in the other room. The children Lanza murdered, 12 girls and 8 boys, were 6 and 7 years old. Twelve first-graders from the two classrooms survived.

When Lanza heard the police closing in on him, he killed himself in a classroom at approximately 9:40 a.m.

Police soon learned that sometime earlier that morning, before arriving at Sandy Hook, Lanza had shot and killed his 52-year-old mother at their home. She owned the weapons her son used in his deadly rampage.

Investigators determined that Lanza, who had attended Sandy Hook as a boy, acted alone in planning and carrying out the attack, but they were unable to find a motive for his actions or discover why he had targeted Sandy Hook.

In November 2013, the Connecticut State’s Attorney released a report noting that Lanza had “significant mental health issues that affected his ability to live a normal life and to interact with others.” However, mental-health professionals who had worked with him “did not see anything that would have predicted his future behavior,” according to the report.

In the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, President Barack Obama called for new gun-safety measures; however, his primary legislative goal, expanded background checks for gun buyers, was blocked by the U.S. Senate.

The community of Newtown, which has some 27,000 residents and is located about 45 miles southwest of Connecticut’s capital, Hartford, eventually decided to tear down Sandy Hook Elementary School. It was razed in the fall of 2013; a new school will be built on the same site.

Both fathers of the shooters were allegedly expected to testify in the Libor scandal that rocked the banking world in June.

The father of Newtown Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza is Peter Lanza who is a VP and Tax Director at GE Financial. The father of Aurora Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes is Robert Holmes, the lead scientist for the credit score company FICO. Both men were to testify before the US Sentate in the ongoing LIBOR scandal. The London Interbank Offered Rate, known as Libor, is the average interest rate at which banks can borrow from each other. 16 international banks have been implicated in this ongoing scandal, accused of rigging contracts worth trillions of dollars. HSBC has already been fined $1.9 billion and three of their low level traders arrested.

If you don’t want people to think it’s a hoax, maybe you shouldn’t tear down the school right away.

Sandy Hoax was a psych-op against the 2nd Amend led primarily by Eric Holder. There are more holes in the story that a colander made of Swiss cheese. Nobody died folks, now go back to sleep. The great videos showing the elaborate hoax have strangely been removed from You Tube.

In this video towards the end they ask where were the air ambulances, no EMTs entered Sandy Hook, who declared them dead within 15 minutes of shooting? Such BS

https://youtu.be/_7vnpo6yLEM

David and Francine Wheeler-actors who “lost their child” at Sandy Hoax. David also happened to be a SWAT agent at Sandy Hoax on the same day as he was a father who lost his child-AMAZING !!!!

After I posted my comment above I noticed the second video has been “dropped” from You tube. I saw the video several times and it made a mockery of David Wheeler as a grieving father. It showed him repeatedly dressed in SWAT/military fatigues. A known second rate actor, a grieving father and on the same day an emotionless SWAT team member doing his best to hide from the camera. The deceit in this country is astonishing.

You’re exactly right, Steve. Sandy Hook was fake, fake, fake. Nobody died. The school wasn’t even being used as a school at the time. It was closed. This was an attempted gun grab!

Even the family members, like PARENTS didn’t see their “dead” children. And of course there were NO open casket viewings of any “dead” children. The extent of the deceit on the American public is again, astonishing.

Would you not insist on seeing and touching your child’s dead body just to satisfy yourself and get closure? There’s no way in hell I would trust a photograph of my supposedly dead child. For all I know, some pedo was involved. The fact that these parents didn’t insist on seeing their dead child tells me all I need to know. At least touching them for the last time, would be something.

By the way, there were children supposedly from Sandy Hook that sang at a football game during one of the anniversaries. Every child there was actually a child reported as dead. Right in your face! These people are sick!

Anyone saying it was a hoax reminds me of idiots who claim the holocaust never happened. The use of this for anti-gun propaganda, and the need to tear down a school? Just shows how stupid people are. I was just watching a show about influential people, The hate directed at Margaret Thatcher and her telling people to take personal responsibility. Priceless. Our society blames inanimate objects for what people do.

The 2012 FBI UCR actually does include the 27 murders at the Newtown mass shooting. The confusion is caused by inexperienced (or unscrupulous) researchers only citing Table 8 of the 2012 FBI UCR.

Table 8 only includes Connecticut murders from the 92 local reporting jurisdictions, a total of 110 murders. Table 4 (see link below) of that same report indicates a total of 146 murders statewide in Connecticut in 2012, 27 of which are the murders in the Newtown mass shooting.

The source is the 2012 Crime in Connecticut report compiled by the Connecticut State Police (see link below). Newtown is on page 245. While that page does indicate zero murders, notice the superscript 3 on the word “murder” indicating a footnote. At the bottom of the table, footnote 3 reads “Does NOT include 27 victims of the Newtown mass shooting (see State Police Misc.)”

On page 415, the data for State Police Misc. lists 27 murders. This table also has a superscript 3 and a corresponding footnote 3 that reads “Includes 27 victims of Newtown mass shooting”.

In addition, on page 4, in the middle of page 4, and the ONLY thing on page 4, is a paragraph dedicated to the 26 victims at the Newtown school shooting (26 because this memorial page does not include the shooters mom who was not killed at the school).

It ain’t rocket science; you just need to read the data.

You wrote, “While that page does indicate zero murders, notice the superscript 3 on the word “murder” indicating a footnote. At the bottom of the table, footnote 3 reads , ‘Does NOT include 27 victims of the Newtown mass shooting (see State Police Misc.)'”

That, to me, indicates, “Don’t really count those 27 because they didn’t really die, as you already know.” Why? Because there is NO reason to state such.

You apparently missed the part where I wrote the 27 Newtown murders were included on page 415. The crime was in state police jurisdiction so they were included on that page under State Police Misc.

I live about a 1/2 an hour from Sandy Hook/Newtown. The official story is BS. I work with a retired 6th grade math teacher who likes to work part time to keep busy. He taught at a Newtown school. He said that although the whole thing was BS, it’s heresy to say it. If you work in any .gov job and don’t keep your mouth shut and tow the party line, you’re fired.

I went to SH a week after the hoax was sprung. I knew a couple who lived there for about 7 years. They said they saw and heard helicopters, but were astonished that there wasn’t one medical chopper in the air, all police and news hacks. My friends told me that they called a number of their friends days after the hoax and asked if they knew any of the parents involved. No one had ever heard of them.

This hoax was supposed to be the big “massacre” that was going to lead to total gun confiscation, like the Port Arthur Australia massacre which was carried out by trained killers, not one deranged man. The big difference is that no one died at SH.

Next time, when the Dems/Leftist/ Communists are in power we will see a FF bloody slaughter the likes of which will dwarf all others which occurred in FUSA in the past. Then the .gov will push though the legislation to ban most guns, like Australia did.
