On this day in 2012, a mass shooter murdered elementary school children and their teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School. (1/4)
The children were just six and seven years old, and the fact that these sweet babies hid in fear with their teachers before being murdered in their classrooms is an inescapably horrible reality that every American should want to ensure never happens again. (2/4)
In the United States, a mass shooting occurs nearly once per day. Our national reactions have become as habitual as they are horrific, but we must NEVER allow these nightmares to feel commonplace. This is a status quo we must constantly and vigorously reject. (3/4)
My heart today is with the families of Newtown, and with all Americans who have had their lives forever altered by gun violence. We have an obligation to our children, and to the memories of those we've lost, to pursue strong, rapid, and lasting solutions to this crisis. (4/4)
