350 U.S. School Shootings Have Followed the Sandy Hook Massacre 9 Years Ago
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today is the ninth anniversary of the Sandy Hook school shooting in
Newtown, Connecticut. The 2012 massacre claimed the lives of 20
schoolchildren and six educators. Since Sandy Hook, there have been 350
U.S. school shootings, including 28 this year. But there has still been
no major change in federal gun safety policy in the United States.
