(2012-12-14) Sandy Hook School Shooting

On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza, 20 years old, fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members at Sandy Hook ElementarySchool in the Sandy Hook village of Newtown, Connecticut. He killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at their nearby Newtown home before driving to the school. After shooting the students and employees, he committed suicide. (mass shooting)

This may trigger a change in Gun Control laws.

Jason Kottke's guns tag (which existed before this shooting) has an ongoing stream of relevant bits.
