Dr. H. Wayne Carver, Connecticut’s chief medical examiner, has released the names of the 20 children and six adult women killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn. The heartbreaking list includes 12 girls and eight boys, all between the ages of 6 and 7.
What were you doing in 2005 or 2006? The 20 children in the #Newtown shooting were being born.
