Five Years Later: Remembering Sandy Hook

Today, December 14, is the five-year anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. A total of 26 people--20 first grade students and six adults--were shot and killed at the school by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who also killed his mother prior to beginning the massacre, and killed himself later in the day. Given the age and the sheer number of the victims, it was an especially upsetting tragedy and sparked a fierce debate over gun control.

Now, people are taking time to recount their memories of the day, and to remember those killed.

CNN's Jake Tapper tweeted a picture and a fact about each of the victims:

Former White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that the day of the massacre was his "worst day" in the White House, and that President Obama broke down.
