Shooting victim asked about death the day before massacre, priest says

12/16/2012

One of children killed in Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School reportedly asked a parent what dying was like, only a day before the massacre. Monsignor Robert Weiss, who had the agonizing job of helping deliver the news to parents that their children were dead, said the child's cryptic question was revealed to him when he made house calls early this morning. The anecdote is one of many eerie details emerging about the young victims now that their names have been released. Another parent, for instance, told a story of how his daughter woke up early the morning of the shooting and, for some reason, came downstairs early to tell him how much she loved him. [Source]
