A World In Pictures - Julia Wilson

(Note: Because I mentioned a school shooting in my last post it would seem that i'm obsessed with school shootings. I'm not, it just happened to work out this way.)

This is a picture of a group of students being led out of Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14th, 2012, the day Adam Lanza broke into the school and shot and killed 20 children, 6 adults, and himself. This was one of the first pictures released at the time of the shooting (or at least one of the first ones I remember seeing), shocking and deeply saddening the nation. In the picture you can see panic, fear, and sadness on all the faces, and it gives you a sense of just how terrifying the situation must have been. Outside the frame of the picture it's safe to assume that it was very chaotic and that everyone on the scene (concerned parents, teachers, police, medics etc.) was scared.
