About 60 members of the first grade class that was attacked by a gunman in 2012 are set to graduate Wednesday. The attack has made many of the students into advocates against gun violence, and some plan to continue those efforts into adulthood.
By Dave Collins, Associated PressSurvivors of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting share their thoughts on high school graduation before a rally against gun violence on Friday, June 7, 2024 in Newtown, Conn.
Emma Ehrens was one of 11 children from Classroom 10 to survive the attack. She and other students managed to flee when the gunman paused to reload and another student, Jesse Lewis, yelled for everyone to run. Jesse didn’t make it. Five kids and both teachers in the room were killed. The town provided an array of services to the families. Officials shielded them as much as they could from the media and outsiders, and the students said leaving such a protective community will be both difficult and somewhat freeing.
“It definitely feels for me that we’re kind of stuck in the same system that we’ve been stuck in for past 12 years,” she said.
