Sandy Hook

The school shooting hit close to home both geographically and emotionally

A grim anniversary is upon us. This month marks 10 years since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

Ten years later, New York Times feature writer Elizabeth Williamson’s book "Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth" investigated the aftermath. We talk to her this morning about the similarities to yesterday’s shooting that left 19-young children dead.Elizabeth Williamson is a feature writer for the New York Times. She joined the Times as a member of the editorial board, writing about national politics during the 2016 presidential campaign.
