- 11 years ago
The U.S. House of Representatives observes a moment of silence in remembrance of the victims of the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The U.S. House of Representatives observed a moment of silence on Friday (December 17), mourning the victims of the deadly school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
The state's congressman, Christopher Murphy delivered some brief remarks before the silence was held.
[Christopher Murphy, Democratic Representative from Connecticut]:
"Newtown is going to survive this because it is a close town and they hurt more because they are close but they also can survive because they are close. They can also survive because they just will get this inspiration from these twenty little kids, who just are asking this town to remember how good they were and try to equal that. As Newtown wrestles with this grief and recovery, the thoughts and the prayers from others matter. I want to thank everyone here for all of the individual love that you have showered down upon our little town."
Two separate funerals were held on Monday for Noah Pozner and Jack Pinto, both six years old, who were killed by gunman Adam Lanza.
[Christopher Murphy, Democratic Representative from Connecticut]:
"So Mr. Speaker I would ask that the House now rise."
