'My family and I are continually having to wrap our head around the fact that this happened and that Daniel is gone forever.”
A 20-year-old with access to firearms first killed his mother and then shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School. In just ten minutes, he shot and killed 20 first-graders and six adults before ending his own life.
Nicole Hockley and Mark Barden are just two of the parents who lost their children that day. They founded “Time has become very surreal in the last decade because, for me, he is still my six-year-old boy, and I think about him everyday.” Barden echoed Hockley’s sentiments. “Time has warped,” he explained. “It feels like maybe Daniel is just in the other room, and my family and I are continually having to wrap our head around the fact that this happened and that Daniel is gone forever.”This is a statistic that disgusts both Barden and Hockley who founded Sandy Hook Promise to try and stop gun violence in schools, home, and overall communities.
