Newtown, Connecticut - August 27, 2025

Connecticut state police have made public a comprehensive set of documents and video recordings from their investigation into the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The released material, which includes 911 calls, radio transmissions and scene photographs, offers unprecedented insight into law enforcement’s response to one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history.

Meanwhile, a federal appeals court in New York yesterday upheld Connecticut’s 2013 assault-weapons ban-enacted in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy-ruling that the prohibition on semiautomatic firearms and high-capacity magazines remains consistent with historical firearm regulations and does not infringe on Second Amendment rights as interpreted by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022.
