We went through it in October 2006 in Joplin when a seventh grader brought a gun to Memorial Middle School and nearly killed principal Steve Gilbreth. I cannot imagine how the Memorial teachers and students felt that way, but I know that we felt the shockwaves at South Middle School where I was teaching at the time.
The worst of the shootings, of course, was at Sandy Hook Elementary. Today is the day that 911 calls from Newtown will be released:
The calls, made to Newtown, Connecticut, police, are scheduled to be made available to the media on CDs at 2 p.m. ET.
The release of the recordings will be administered by the attorneys for the Town of Newtown at their offices in Danbury. Calls to the state police in Litchfield are not a part of this group of recordings.
The Associated Press had challenged authorities' refusal to release the 911 tapes. Last week, Connecticut Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott upheld the Connecticut Freedom of Information Commission's ruling to release calls related to the December 14, 2012 shooting. A state attorney had tried to block the release to shield the victims' families.
