The nightmare begins....

Lanza enters the school building and starts the shooting rampage. Sounds of the shots were broadcast to classrooms thanks to the school's public address system, and immediately, teachers adhered to the lockdown protocols to protect the children. Students and teachers were at the time hiding in closets or bathrooms, and barricading doors, so that the shooter could not reach them. Lanza then entered the classroom of Lauren Rousseau killing her and her students. Then he went to a second classroom where teacher Victoria Soto had hidden her students in a closet. He enters asking with his rifle where the children were at. Soto lied and told Lanza the kids were in the school's auditorium on the opposite building in attempt to save her students but it was too late. She shot and killed by Lanza and killed her six students as they tried to escape the classroom. He shot and killed two more staff members. At 9:40am, it was over, Lanza shot himself in the head at classroom 10 just before the police arrived. They found his body at 9:50 am in the classroom.

A former classmate of the gunman said Ramos "would get severely bullied and made fun of a lot" and was taunted by others for the clothes he wore and his family's financial situation. "People would, like, actually call him school shooter and stuff like that," he said. Another former classmate, who did not want to be identified by name, said he was somewhat "close" to Ramos. They sat together through high school and played Xbox together, he said. Ramos had stopped attending school regularly and they communicated less, aside from occasional invites to play Xbox. Before the shooting, Ramos has posted on social media photos and photos of his rifles even though Ramos's family doesn't approve of him having guns in the house.

Here we go again....Another nightmare.....

At around 11am Ramos messages a girl from Germany he met on Facebook tells her about his plans to shoot his grandmother. The gunman shoots his grandma in the face, who then calls the police. Ramos enters in the families pickup vehicle and drives to Robb Elementary School.

At 11:27, Ramos open an exterior door of the school. Ramos crashes the pickup into a drainage ditch behind the school. Two men at a nearby funeral home hear the crash and run out to see what happened. They see Ramos jump out of the passenger side carrying an AR-15-style rifle and a bag full of ammunition. The men run and Ramos fires at them but doesn’t hit them. Ramos begins shooting at the school from the school parking lot as police cars begin to arrive at the funeral home. He makes his way around the school building. Ramos fires multiple shots at the school and then makes his way toward the unlocked door. A video captured him with a rifle entering the school building. He enters classrooms, 111 and 112 firing 100 rounds. Three city police officers enter the school through the same door that Ramos used and are later followed by four other officers, McCraw said, putting a total of seven inside the building. Two officers receive “grazing wounds” from Ramos. At 12:10pm, female (age unknown) who called 911 at 12:03 p.m. calls 911 again and says there are multiple dead, McCraw said. She calls again at 12:13 p.m. and then again at 12:16 p.m., when she says there are eight to nine students alive. Another girl in room 111 calls 911 and ends the call when a fellow student tells her to hang up. Ramos fires his gun again and officers believe he’s at one of the door of one of the adjoining classrooms shots can be heard during a 911 call. At 12:36pm, a girl calls 911 told to stay on the line and stay very quiet, McCraw said. The girl says, “He shot the door.”“please send the police now.” At 12:50 pm a Border patrol enters the school using the janitor's key, he saw the shooter shot and killed him after the shooting. 19 fourth and two fourth grade teachers were killed.

Aftermath

The following after the shooting, Sandy Hook students returned to classes on January 3, 2013, at Chalk Hill Middle School in nearby Monroe at the town's invitation. Legislators pledged to introduce some form of gun control legislation in the wake of the Newtown shootings, and U.S. Pres. Barack Obama stated that he would use all the powers of his office to prevent future mass shootings. The National Rifle Association responded by advocating the introduction of armed guards into all American schools.The families and loved ones of some of those who were slain in the attack founded Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the reform of gun laws and the promotion of mental wellness.

After Remington filed for bankruptcy protection twice, and eight years that saw no gun reform, Remington settled with the Sandy Hook families for $73 million.

Ramos's grandmother Celia “Sally” Martinez Gonzales who was shot by Ramos in the face, suffered a fatal gunshot wound but expected to survive. Irma's husband died of a broken heart two days later after the shooting leaving behind their four children. Mourners gathered at their funeral on June 1. Trey Ganem, who runs SoulShine Industries, a custom casket business, met with the families of the victims and designed 19 custom caskets for all the young victims.

Both men who were bullied commit school shootings taking the young innocent lives of students and teachers for no reason at all.

Rest in Peace to those young victims and the teachers.
