6 Massacre Victims Laid to Rest in Newtown

HeadlineDec 20, 2012

Six more victims of the Newtown massacre were laid to rest on Wednesday: four children, a teacher and the principal of their school. The teacher, 27-year-old Victoria Soto, was credited with saving half of her classroom by hiding the children in a closet and then telling shooter Adam Lanza that they were in a different area of the school. The principal, 47-year-old Dawn Hochsprung, was reportedly shot dead after lunging at Lanza in an effort to stop the shooting. Six more funerals are being held today.
