Connecticut shooting

Winthrop men's basketball coach Pat Kelsey took full advantage of the microphone sitting in front of him at a recent post-game news conference after his team lost, 65-55, to Ohio State, but rather than focusing fully on the game, Kelsey shared his thoughts on the deadly school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT last week.

The nation is mourning.  Any loss of life brings sadness but the losses in Newtown, Connecticut during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are not only senseless but selfish, as the victims were truly innocent and helpless.

In an attempt to heal not only the ones directly connected to the tragedy at Newtown, CT, this past Friday, but the entire town, retired special education teacher Michael Cragin has decided to offer out hugs — not from him, but from his beloved bulldog Truman.

While the nation and the world are mourning the deaths of the victims of Friday's horrific Connecticut school shootings a local couple are grieving a much more personal loss.
