Nearly a decade after a group of students at Sandy Hook Elementary School and their teachers were killed in Newtown, Connecticut, two Sandy Hook parents said they are still in shock that their young children could be taken away in such a violent act.

Nicole Hockley and Mark Barden, the parents of Sandy Hook victims and co-founders of the nonprofit Sandy Hook Promise, a gun safety advocacy group, spoke with ABC News Live Wednesday about their reflections on the 10th anniversary of the mass shooting. Hockley, who lost her son Dylan that day, and Barden, who lost his son Daniel, both said that the passage of time has become surreal and nothing has filled that void.
The shooter, Adam Lanza, killed his mother Nancy before heading to the school. He took his own life afterward. The number of mass shootings recorded annually has doubled within the last decade, rising from 254 in 2013 to 692 in 2021, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that identifies mass shootings as cases in which four or more people are shot, and tracks them through public data, news reports and other sources.
