'Students who ran out of Sandy Hook School and who survived the tragedy, they are watching this happen over and over,” a Sandy Hook survivor says. “My generation has let them down.'
“It’s a horrible burden to bear," said a teacher in Newtown, Connecticut, who survived the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012.
“The worst part about it is that my students who ran out of Sandy Hook School and who survived the tragedy, they are watching this happen over and over,” Clements said. “My generation has let them down. It’s a horrible burden to bear.”Since 2013, at least 94 people have been killed and 132 injured in 51 school shootings, according to the latestby NBC News, which has been tracking school shootings since 20 children and six faculty members were killed at Sandy Hook.
While shuttling other students to school, Gil nearly broke down when she saw a mother get out of her car to hug her twin second graders before they left for school. They would all eventually hear the news that a young, male gunman had opened fire inside an elementary school in Texas after shooting his grandmother in the face.
“It brought us back to 12/14 in a more direct way than any shooting has,” Hockley said. “And every shooting does re-traumatize us and make us relive that day, but this was really far too present.”Candice Bohr, who has thought about the Sandy Hook shooting every single day for the last 10 years, was coaching soccer to second and third-grade girls when she found out.
She remembers asking her teacher if she could call her mother, and she has vivid details of a classmate next to her sobbing uncontrollably.
