FULL VIDEO – 60 Minutes reports: Tragedy in Newtown

60 Minutes put together a report on the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. The most compelling portion of the report is hearing from the school nurse what happened as the shooter made his way through the school building. At one point, as she hid under her desk, she saw the shooters legs and feet pointed in her direction for only for a few seconds before he moved on. She then hid in a closet for around 4 hours before finally opening the door to a state policeman.

They also spoke to neighbors of Adam Lanza’s mother who told them that taking care of Adam was a full time job, that his mother described Adam as being disabled with Asperger syndrome. She also home-schooled Adam which is why he wasn’t in high school very long. She also loved target shooting which is why she legally owned the guns that were used in the shooting.
