Last Friday a 20-year-old local man killed 20 children, six educators and himself at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Officials say Adam Lanza used guns owned by his mother after shooting her to death at their home.
The shooting was the second deadliest ever at an American school. In 2007 a student at Virginia Tech killed 32 people and then himself.
What happened in Newtown has once again reopened debate about gun control and issues like mental health services. President Obama spoke Sunday at a memorial service in the town. He said he will use whatever power he has as president "in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this."
On Wednesday, he named Vice President Joe Biden to lead an administration team in developing proposals to reduce gun violence.
Students at Sandy Hook Elementary are expected to return to school in a neighboring town in January after winter break. Sandy Hook will remain closed until further notice.
In the gunfire last week, a community lost a school for the most tragic of reasons. Days earlier, another community not very far away regained a school in a story of hope, renewal and the strength of the human spirit.本周，康涅狄格州纽镇开始为校园枪击事件中的受害者举行葬礼。上周五，当地一名20岁男子在桑迪胡克小学持枪杀害20名儿童，6名教师后自杀。官员称亚当·兰扎使用的枪支系其母所有，（其母南希·兰扎）此前在家中遭其枪击身亡。
这是美国校园史上发生的第二严重的枪击事件。2007年，弗吉尼亚理工大学一名学生杀害32人后自杀。
此次发生在纽镇的枪击事件再一次掀起有关枪支管理和心理健康服务等话题的争辩热潮。总统奥巴马周日在该镇的追悼会上说，他将尽总统的一切力量，阻止类似悲剧重演。
周三，他任命副总统乔·拜登领导一个行政小组，就减少枪支暴力行为提出议案。
桑迪胡克小学的学生有望于寒假后的一月份到邻镇的学校继续上学。在进一步通知之前，桑迪胡克小学将一直被封闭。
在上周的枪击事件中，一个社区因最悲惨的原因失去了一所学校。而数天前，附近的另一个社区在经历过希望、重建和人类精神力量之后重获一所学校。
