December 19, 2012 This is pretty cool news! The Air National Guard unit that is based in Niagara Falls will soon be piloting unmanned drones that fly around the world. That's right, just like a video game, men and women will control
The National Rifle Association went quiet after last week's shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, and many have been wondering what the gun-advocacy group would have to say. On Tuesday, the NRA released an official statement:
There is nothing anyone can do to take away the pain the community of Newtown, Connecticut is going through right now. But a charity group from Illinois is using man's best friend to provide a little comfort to those who are mourning the loss of life from last Friday's mass school shooting.
December 18, 2012 It was a classy way to honor the victims of the Newtown, Connecticut shootings. Monday night's "The Voice" opened with all of this year's contestants along with the judges and even host Carson Daley singing "Hallelejua" while they held cards with the names of all of the victims
Justin Moore must have had a tough time concentrating on his show in Jacksonville, Fla. on Friday night (Dec. 14). After a national tragedy struck Newtown, Conn. when a young man broke into an elementary school and killed 27 people, many children, Moore had to stop and weep with America.
December 17, 2012 Since news broke of Friday's (December 14) tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., so many people -- at our studio, in Buffalo and across the country -- have been asking what they can do to help. And while nothing we can do will ever really be enough, we want to help Buffalonians show their support for our East Coast neighbors.
December 17, 2012 I had to make sure this wasn't some joke. But it turns out that this story, all though weird, is true! I guess the tooth fairy was a little too late making her rounds one night and a boy's tooth had found it's way in to his ear!
Authorities have released the names of the victims of Friday's mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, in which Adam Lanza, 20, reportedly killed 27 people, as well as himself. Lanza's rampage began when he shot and killed his mother, Nancy, at her home before he drove to Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed six adults and 20 children before taking his own life.
December 15, 2012 Friday's tragedy in Connecticut goes beyond talk of guns and gun control. It's sickness and evil. It's beyond comprehension how any human being could plot to execute young children - babies. We'll probably find out down the line what twisted logic this guy had to go through with such a wretched crime.
December 15, 2012 Friday was an emotionally draining day. My mother has been gone 16 year as of Friday and hearing what happened in CT has only made it all that much more difficult.

UPDATE 6:30 p.m.: Originally it was thought that Adam Lanza, the gunman, shot his mother at the Sandy Hook Elementary school, where she was a teacher's aide. ABC has learned that, in fact, Nancy Lanza was killed at her home (by her son) prior to the massacre. He then drove to the school, where he killed 20 children and six adults, before killing himself.
As we all try to make sense out of the Connecticut school shooting tragedy – not that I think any of us ever will be able to – we all look for things to help us cope. I put together this quick mix of 'Angels Among Us' by Alabama for you, in hopes it can help you deal with this traumatic event
