Conn. School Shooting Unleashes Global Support on December 16, 2012:
nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/natl-conn-school-shooting-unleashes-global-support/1938384/

The outpouring of shock and grief from around the world over the horrific events in this picturesque Connecticut town has given way to the desire to support the families of the victims, NBC News reported. As details of Friday’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary continue to unfold, residents remain stunned by the mayhem unleashed by a lone gunman, who allegedly killed 20 children and six women in the nation's second-deadliest school shooting. Within hours after the massacre, local churches and social service agencies have been besieged with phone calls and emails from around the country and the world—as far away as Taiwan, Australia and West Africa. The outpouring of global grief has generated a flood of offers of financial contributions, according to Newtown Savings Bank President John Trentacosta. In response, several groups have set up websites to accept contributions, including a joint effort between Newtown Savings and the United Way of Western Connecticut. The Sandy Hook School Support Fund is accepting donations via the Web, or by check mailed to Sandy Hook School Support Fund, Newtown Savings Bank, 39 Main St., Newtown CT 06470. Donations are also being accepted at the bank's local branches.

The screening, discussion and reception that follow are free and open to the public; please RSVP at [email protected] or by calling (203) 837-8298.

The film focuses on the ever-growing trend to shut down state mental hospitals. It was conceived and produced by Vision Project, an organization dedicated to the development of documentary photography, investigative journalism and education. Vision Project is housed at the Sacred Heart University School of Communication & Media Arts.

According to the film’s promotional materials, “the movement to shut down state mental hospitals is known as ‘deinstitutionalization.’ It was intended to normalize the mentally ill and integrate them into the community. However, while once they were cared for by the states, the severely mentally ill are ending up in our nation’s prisons, on city streets and in county morgues. Few small towns in our nation better symbolize the problems with the mental health system than Newtown, site of the former Fairfield Hills State Hospital and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.

Masons Celebrate 100 Years In Sandy Hook Lodge by Shannon Hicks on March 24, 2006 at newtownbee.com:
newtownbee.com/03242006/masons-celebrate-100-years-in-sandy-hook-lodge/

Hiram Lodge No. 18 A.F. & A.M. was chartered by the Grand Lodge of Connecticut on January 17, 1791. In the first 60 years of its existence, there were five meeting places for the local Masons: Bennett Perry's Lodge Room, which served the Masons from 1791 to 1821; Czar Keler's Lodge Room (1821-1823), William Blakely's Lodge Room (1823-1825), Masonic Hall (1825-1848), and Alexander Hall's home, which began hosting meetings in 1848.

In 1905 the lodge purchased a lot for $150 from the parish of St John's Episcopal Church, whose property on Washington Avenue in Sandy Hook was adjacent to the proposed location for a new Masonic Hall. For the sum of $2,949, H.C. McCollam of Redding was hired to build the new lodge.

The lodge, at 3 Washington Avenue, was completed in 1906. The first meeting held in the new temple was on November 21, 1906, and they have continued in that location since.

Last week the current members of Hiram Lodge held a rededication ceremony to celebrate the first century of their lodge's existence. In addition to members of Hiram Lodge, brothers were joined by a few family members as well as members of King Solomon's Lodge No. 7, located in Woodbury, and lodges from further afield. Masons drove in from across the state to attend the ceremony, but certainly the ones who traveled the furthest were members of Hay Market Lodge No. 313 A.F. & A.M. in Haymarket, Va. Four of them made the eight-hour drive on Wednesday, arriving in Newtown by early afternoon in order to attend the rededication that evening.

"I've been to lodges from Florida to Maine, and many in between," he continued, choking back tears. "But I have never been in a lodge more friendly and loving that the one I am standing in right now."

Sandy Hook victims identified, bodies removed from school overnight on December 15, 2012 at cbsnews.com:
cbsnews.com/news/sandy-hook-victims-identified-bodies-removed-from-school-overnight/

Lt. Paul Vance with the Connecticut State Police

(CBS News) The bodies of all of the deceased victims of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting were positively identified by early Saturday morning, according to Connecticut State Police spokesman Lt. Paul Vance.

Vance shared new details regarding the ongoing investigation Saturday on "CBS This Morning: Saturday," confirming that the families of the victims have been notified, and that the victims' bodies were removed from the school overnight.

"Our objective certainly was to positively identify the victims to try to give the families some closure," he explained. "Our detectives worked well through the night. By early this morning, we were able to positively identify all of the victims and make some formal notification to all of the families of the victims."

Vance added that the removal of the bodies "has been accomplished. That was done overnight, " he said. "We worked very closely with the medical examiner who was on the scene to expedite the process and were able to accomplish that.

"Now state police detectives are continuing the investigation within the building and on the exterior of the building and will continue to do so."

Questions remain about the relationship of shooter Adam Lanza's mother, who was also killed Friday. "We haven't discussed that publicly as of yet," Vance said, explaining that those details are "part and parcel" of the ongoing investigation.

Bill to withhold Newtown photos, records gets strong OK in Connecticut legislature
By Laura Ly on June 6, 2013 at cnn.com:
cnn.com/2013/06/05/us/connecticut-sandy-hook-documents/index.html

A bill that would keep sealed some photos and documents from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting investigation passed overwhelmingly in the Connecticut legislature early Wednesday.

The new legislation blocks public disclosure of any visual images depicting those who died in the shooting on grounds that release of the images would "constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of the victim or the victim's surviving family members," according to the bill.

The bill passed in the state Senate just after 1:30 a.m., with 33 senators voting in favor of the bill and two voting against. It passed in the state House at 2 a.m. on a vote of 130 in favor, and two against. Lawmakers were working late hours to clear legislation before scheduled adjournment this week.

The bill would prevent any graphic visual evidence of slain individuals from being released even through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) filings.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy supports the measure and is expected to sign it later this week, said deputy press secretary David Bednarz.

Newtown school district to get $1.3 million from Education Department

All 911 recordings will still be publicly available, as well as audio recordings of first-responders, fire fighters and police. However, any audio recordings with graphic descriptions of a victims' bodies will be redacted.

A task force will also be established to "consider and make recommendations regarding the balance between victim privacy under the Freedom of Information Act and the public's right to know," the bill says.

An earlier draft of the bill limited the new legislation specifically to the Newtown case. However, the final draft passed Wednesday was expanded to include all homicide victims in Connecticut.

"My goal with this legislation was to provide some measure of protection for the families affected by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. But the fact is, all families have a right to grieve in private. Those who lose loved ones to violence have a right to protect themselves against further anguish," Malloy said in a statement.

State Senate Minority Leader John McKinney represents the Newtown area and was a chief proponent of the bill. He commended the families of Newtown victims for speaking out in support of the measure.

"The families have shown tremendous courage in coming to the Capitol and publicly asking the legislature to protect their privacy rights with respect to the graphic evidence and crime scene photographs of their murdered children and loved ones," said McKinney, a Republican.

The new law drew concern from others who feared the bill would limit freedom of information and hamper future investigations.

State Sen. Ed Meyer, one of two senators who voted against the bill, noted that the Newtown crimes were committed on public property and the photos and recordings were taken by public officers.

"The suppression of horrific crimes committed on public property and recorded by public officials is not consistent with a free and open society," Meyer, a Democrat, wrote in a statement.

Sandy Hook task force recommends demolition and rebuilding

Meyer, a father of six and grandfather of 13, said he identifies greatly with the sadness that Newtown families feel, but believes that withholding certain pieces of evidence from the public will have long-term negative effects.

"The more we understand about our ugliness, the better chance we have to overcome that ugliness. Suppression of horrific conduct, as this bill dictates, invites history to repeat itself," Meyer said.

McKinney noted that while he has been a strong advocate of freedom-of-information laws, he was "unapologetic" about supporting the efforts of Newtown families to keep gruesome photos and details from public view.

The final bill required extensive compromise from both, requiring all members of Connecticut's General Assembly "to balance deeply held beliefs and important public policy values," the governor said.

Malloy commended the legislators "on coming to an agreement that respects the privacy of grieving families."

All future FOIA requests will go through the Freedom of Information Commission in Connecticut. Commission members will now have to weigh whether to publicly disclose images based on this new law, said Brett R. Cody, spokesman for McKinney.

Requests for evidence will continue to be considered carefully, but "when privacy rights of victims and their families outweigh freedom of information, those privacy rights will be protected," said Cody.

The passage of the bill comes just under seven months after a lone gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. After fatally shooting his mother at home, Adam Lanza killed 20 children and six educators before taking his own life.

Footage Of Police Arresting Second Man In Woods Right After The Sandy Hook Shooting by Michael B Kelley on December 17, 2012 at businessinsider.com:
businessinsider.com/sandy-hook-man-in-the-woods-video-2012-12

On Friday police were "questioning a handcuffed suspect in connection with the Newtown school shooting" after they found a man wearing camouflage pants and a black jacket in the woods near the school.

CBS reported that "a potential second shooter is in custody and that SWAT is now investigating the home of the suspect."

Connecticut State Police Lt. J. Paul Vance later told reporters that there was only one shooter, and officials haven't given any more information on the man.

This helicopter footage obtained by the AP shows the man running into the woods before being apprehended:

And here's an interview with a witness who said that the man was telling parents he "did not do it" as he was led away by police.

It's still unclear why the man was running from police or if he had anything to do with the massacre, which claimed the lives of 28 people.

Troopers and Newtown families form tight bondsIn a first-of-its-kind program, Connecticut State Police assigned troopers and some local officers to each victim's family following the Dec. 14 massacre by Michael Melia on Febuary 19, 2013 at policeone.com and Associated Press:

HARTFORD, Conn. — As the family of slain Sandy Hook school psychologist Mary Sherlach mourned her death, Trooper Orlando "Lonny" Mo was the one who brought back her car and personal belongings. He escorted her husband and daughters to a meeting with the president, he answered the door at the family's house, and at the funeral he embraced her husband, Bill Sherlach, who told Mo he was like a brother.

Mo's detail with the family ended on the day of the funeral service, but only officially. Like many of his fellow troopers tasked with aiding the families of the Newtown massacre victims, he has stayed in close contact with those he helped through some of their darkest days.

"Our trooper liaison, Trooper Lonny Mo, is now and will forever be a part of our family," Bill Sherlach said. "I still get phone calls, `How are you doing, what is going on?'"

In a first-of-its-kind program, Connecticut State Police assigned troopers and some local officers to each victim's family following the Dec. 14 massacre of 20 first-graders and six women. There was no blueprint for it. As the families were plunged into grief and the small town became clogged with media satellite trucks, the troopers were told to provide whatever the families needed.

Attached: FraternalOrderofPolice.jpg (324x307, 22.07K)

The troopers spent long hours at the families' homes, supporting logistics for out-of-town relatives coming for funerals and providing updates in the case. At least one officer went out in his cruiser to buy milk for children who wanted cereal.

For several parents, the troopers' presence was a tremendous comfort.

Jennifer Hubbard, who lost her 6-year-old daughter, Catherine, said she was still in a grief-stricken fog when she first met her family's trooper. Over the next few days, he made such a difference that she feels Catherine had a hand somehow in bringing him to her family. She said their son, Frederick, lights up when he sees the trooper.

"He watched us crumble, and he never cracked," she said. "He is now part of our family."

The parents of 6-year-old victim Josephine Gay often text and email with their trooper liaison and another trooper they met the day of the shooting. One donated his pay from the day of the shooting to a memorial fund they set up in their daughter's name, benefiting families with autistic children.

"Who would have ever guessed that state troopers could also serve as therapists?" Michele Gay said. "Just their presence, their strength, the way that they were there for us was enormously comforting and still is."

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said he and a state police colonel decided within hours of the tragedy to assign the trooper liaisons and, judging from the letters he has received from the families, it was absolutely the right decision.

"It made a difficult situation a tiny bit easier," Malloy said in an interview. "We needed someone to get them through what needed to be gotten through."

It was a delicate, emotional assignment for the troopers. Ian Hockley, whose 6-year-old son Dylan was killed, said his family's trooper brought his own son to play with their surviving son, and he became so tightly involved with the family that at times he cried with them.

Mo, 57, was so deeply moved by the tragedy that it inspired his first tattoo. With clouds in between rays of sun, the tattoo on his right forearm says: "6 heroes, 20 angels," along with the date of the shooting.

"I wanted people to know how profound that day was to me," said Mo, who was among the troopers inside a room with all the families when they were told their loved ones had died.

A 30-year veteran of the state police, Mo said the only similar experience was a liaison program created after the Sept. 11 attacks, when families of Connecticut victims relied on transportation from state police cruisers to get into New York City. But nothing really compares to his connection with the Sherlach family.

Some days, he would spend hours at the Sherlach house. Other days he would leave them in the company of friends. One of Sherlach's grown daughters is named Maura but goes by the nickname "Mo," and he gave her an old nametag that she was wearing regularly. He also gave Bill Sherlach a state police pin he has worn to legislative hearings and other events related to the tragedy.

At the funeral, Mo escorted the family and stood watch over them during the service. As the service concluded, Mo and Bill Sherlach hugged.

"Bill said, `You're like a brother. You're always welcome at my home,'" Mo said.

Mo made three trips to bring Mary Sherlach's property back from the school, including her car, and he later felt awkward about possibly intruding on such a personal space.

"Mary drove the car to school, and I'm the next person to sit in the car," he said. "I think about it now."

The state police have had group sessions for the troopers to decompress, and Mo said they have been helpful for them to get out their pain and share it among themselves.

Bill Sherlach said he is grateful to Mo for taking such care of his family.

"I can't say enough of what these guys were able to do," he said.

Father of Sandy Hook victim found dead in apparent suicide: police on March 25, 2019 at reuters.com:
reuters.com/article/us-people-jeremy-richman/father-of-sandy-hook-victim-found-dead-in-apparent-suicide-police-idUSKCN1R627P

(Reuters) - The father of one of the children killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School was found dead of an apparent suicide on Monday morning at his office in Newtown, Connecticut, police said.

Jeremy Richman, 49, was the father of Avielle Richman, one of 20 children, all 6 or 7 years old, killed along with six adult staff members by a man with a semi-automatic rifle at the school in Newtown. It stands as one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history.

Richman’s body was found shortly after 7 a.m. EDT (1100 GMT) at his office, police said.

“The death appears to be a suicide, but police will not disclose the method or any other details of the death, only to state the death does not appear to be suspicious,” the Newtown Police Department said in a statement. Connecticut’s Chief Medical Examiner’s office is expected to confirm the cause of death later on Monday, police said.

After his daughter’s murder, Richman and his wife, Jennifer Hensel, created a foundation in her name that focuses on preventing violence by funding research on mental health and increasing access to treatment.

Richman, who was a neuropharmacologist, had written in a mission statement published on the Avielle Foundation’s website that his daughter’s death had left him “infinitely heart broken.”

In a statement, the foundation said that while its staff and directors were “crushed to pieces” at Richman’s death, it would continue its work of supporting research into brain abnormalities and promoting brain health.

“Tragically, his death speaks to how insidious and formidable a challenge brain health can be and how critical it is for all of us to seek help for ourselves, our loved ones and anyone who we suspect may be in need,” the foundation said.

U.S. Representative Jahana Hayes, who represents a congressional district that includes Newtown, said in a statement she was struck by how “optimistic” Richman had seemed about his foundation’s work at a recent meeting.

“These tragedies show that the trauma of gun violence extends far beyond the initial tragedy,” her statement said.

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut called Richman a “good friend, a dedicated father, an esteemed researcher.”

Gallery: The former IOOF building at Lake Street and 27th Ave.

The white stone letters atop the buildings, 3 feet high, read like a cartoon sound effect from the old “Batman” TV show: IOOF.

But those letters actually stand for bonds of brotherhood: the International Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal society that reached its zenith a century ago. The Odd Fellows built more than 20 lodges in Minneapolis and St. Paul, often-grand buildings that served as centers of social networking in an era when government did little to help people make their way.

Most of those Odd Fellows lodges are gone, demolished in the name of progress. Several exist in various states of dilapidation. But two of the old lodge buildings in Minneapolis survive and thrive today, anchoring busy commercial corners while providing a hub for community-building.

Now known as the 27 Event Center, the brick building at 2701 E. Lake St. was built in 1909 for Flour City Lodge 118. It once hosted dozens of lodge meetings and community events every week. Today it’s owned by Latina entertainment entrepreneur Maya Santamaria. Its upper floors house a restaurant, a club, and Spanish-language TV and radio stations; the ground floor is occupied by a check-cashing store, a medical office and Le Town Talk Diner.

George Floyd, fired officer overlapped security shifts at south Minneapolis club by Ana Lastra and Eric Rasmussen on May 28, 2020 at kstp.com:

kstp.com/news/george-floyd-fired-officer-overlapped-security-shifts-at-south-minneapolis-club-may-28-2020/5743990/

A former club owner in south Minneapolis says the now-fired police officer and the black man who died in his custody this week both worked security for her club up to the end of last year.

George Floyd and now-former Officer Derek Chauvin both worked security at the El Nuevo Rodeo club on Lake Street, according to Maya Santamaria. Santamaria owned the building for nearly two decades, but sold the venue within the last few months.

"Chauvin was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open," Santamaria said. "They were working together at the same time, it's just that Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside."

5 INVESTIGATES has reached out to Chauvin's attorney and the Minneapolis Police Department, but they could not be reached for comment at the time this story was published.

KSTP's complete coverage

Although the two overlapped working security on popular music nights within the last year, Santamaria can not say for certain they knew each other because there were often a couple dozen security guards, including off-duty officers.

La Raza Radio relaunches days after burning down during George Floyd protests by Joey Peters on June 4, 2020 at mprnews.org:

When studios of La Raza radio, one of two Spanish-language broadcasters in the Twin Cities, went up in flames in violent protests over the death of George Floyd, Latinos lost an important source of information about the demonstrations, the COVID pandemic and other important issues.

Broadcasters kept their social media channels churning, however, and despite the destruction of most of their equipment they were back on the air only one week later.

For the time being, La Raza will be using a studio in Minneapolis-based community radio station KFAI until it reestablishes its own space in the near future, according to station owner Maya Santamaria. Santamaria credited her staff and, particularly, General Manager Armando Quintero for the rapid turnaround.

La Raza, which was established in 2005, can be heard at 95.7 FM, 1400 AM and 1470 AM frequencies throughout the metro area. It operated in the century-old International Order of Odd Fellows building on Lake Street and 27th Avenue South. Its programming includes a mix of news, entertainment, Latin music and culture, with the majority of it being local.

The building, which also housed El Nuevo Rodeo restaurant and club, was lost to arson on the same night protesters burned down the Minneapolis 3rd Police Precinct Station following the police killing of George Floyd.
