On December 14, 2012 , twenty six people were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut. Before the shooting, Adam Lanza, 20, went to his mothers house. While he was there he stole three guns and killed his mother. The guns he stole were and AR rifle and pistols made by Glock and Sig Saucer. During that time, school was moving and approximately 700 students were present. Earlier that year, the principal locked the gates at 9:30 AM and by the time the gunman arrived the gates were locked. According to authorities, the gunman shot his way into the school. The Vice principal, Natalie Hammond, and sociologist Mary Sherlach went to investigate. The gunman had killed the sociologist and wounded the vice principal. Lanza had gone into two kindergarten classrooms. Lauren Rousseau, a substitute teacher, and her 14 students were shot and killed. In another classroom, Victoria Soto moved her students away from the door and the gunman had shot and killed her along with six other students. After some time, the police arrived and the gunman had shot himself when he heard the gunman approaching. The police had arrived 2 minutes and 47 seconds after the call was made. This school shooting shows that restrictions should be made for gun ownership and that the bullets allowed in one round should be lower giving people the chance to tackle or disarm the gunman.
