“Eleven years ago today, the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, shocked the conscience of our nation,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) during an event with House Democrats marking the somber occasion. The minority leader pointed to the 635 mass shootingsand the more than 40,000 Americans killed by gun violence in 2023 alone, calling it “unacceptable,” "unconscionable" and “un-American.” Leader Jeffries and members of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force also criticized House Republicans for their inaction on addressing gun violence before leaving for the holiday break. The December 14, 2012, mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut resulted in the death of 26 people, 20 were first grade students and six were educators. close
