Funerals begin for Sandy Hook Elementary children

Jack Pinto and Noah Pozner were buried today in the first funerals for the 20 children killed Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, during the shoot rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Jack and Noah both were 6 years old. Pinto was an avid New York Giants fan, and buried in the jersey of his favorite player, Victor Cruz. Noah, twin of sister Avielle who escaped during the shooting, loved anything mechanical.

There have been numerous candlelight vigils, memorials and silent observances nationwide for the shooting victims since Adam Lanza, 20, forced his way into the school and used a semi-automatic gun to takes the lives of the students, all first graders. Only one of 16 children in one class survived because she played dead among her classmates. 

President Barack Obama was the featured speaker at a vigil held Sunday at Newtown High School. He made a national declaration for flags to fly at half-staff until Tuesday evening, Dec. 8,  at the White House, all public buildings and grounds, schools and military units, and to observe a moment of silence at 11 a.m. Monday and Tuesday.

Police said all of the victims of the killing, including six women who were teachers, school principal and school psychologist, were shot multiple times at close range.

The gunman first shot his mother Nancy Lanza in the face several times before going to the school. She was still wearing her pajamas and in bed when police found her at home she shared with her son.
