Is the Sandy Hook shooting fake? Why are the families of some of the victims attempting to file wrongful death claims? Several questions continue to boggle the minds of the nation over the massacre involving young students by a 20-year-old.
This week, as the second-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting massacre draws near, several questions continue to surface regarding the incident that was reportedly being blamed to Adam Lanza, a young adult, who was believed to have "snapped" on Dec. 14, leading him to shoot 20 kids and six staff members at the local school he had attended once.
It's only a matter of days until the second-year anniversary of the tragedy arrives and right now Newtown is still contemplating on the permanent memorial it is to put up in commemoration of the massacre, reports Standard.
"The pressure is really just on making sure we do this right," said Kyle Lyddy, the chairman of the commission that has been hearing proposals on the memorial Newtown will soon put up.
Since the traumatic 2012 shooting, architects and artists have been giving proposals for concepts on murals, memorial parks, groves and the likes to Newtown.
"This memorial is not only for the families who lost loved ones and the town, but also for the world who so generously gave of their thoughts, prayers and gifts that day and continue to keep us in their thoughts and prayers," Scarett Lewis, one of the commission members, who happened to lose a child in the Sandy Hook shooting, said.
Amid this preparation for the memorial, Courant reports that the parents of 10 kids who were killed in the incident are planning to file for wrongful death claims.
Eight out of the 10 filings are to be approved by the Fairfield County probate judge as of late. Meanwhile, several families have reportedly consulted Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder lawyers to discuss a potential lawsuit against Bushmaster, the manufacturer of the weapon Lanza used in killing his victims.
The report on the wrongful death claims came amid reports that the Sandy Hook shooting responders are still traumatized by the incident, according to Firehouse.
"Before Sandy Hook I looked at the world as a good place where bad things happened," EMT Peter Houlihan of Redding said. "Now I look at the world as a bad place where good things happen."
"You almost feel like 'I can't close my eyes anymore -- I see those children, I see those parents,' " he recalled of the massacre.
Meanwhile, it can also be noted that several conspiracy theories emerged when the Sandy Hook shooting made headlines two years ago.
Conspiracy theorists claimed that the incident was a media hoax and that the alleged massacre was a misreported case of military exercise.
One published theory was titled "FBI REPORT: NO DEATHS AT SANDY HOOK: WAS EXERCISE< MISREPORTED, CREATED CRISIS."
Sites like Inquisitr have come to debunk the conspiracy theories pointing out that there is no truth in these claims from sites like InfoWars and Political Ears.
Additionally, USA Today (via KDramaStars) maintains that the Sandy Hook Shooting Fake reports do not have solid evidence to prove their stand. Furthermore, the site revealed that Lanza did not "snap" that day but instead carried out his carefully planned attack at the Newtown, Connecticut school.
The Office of Child Advocate also disclosed last month that Lanza may have been "increasingly preoccupied with mass murder" in the past years because he was influenced by a "micro society of mass murder enthusiasts with whom he was in email communication."
