NEW TOWN, N.D. (AP) — Students from a North Dakota town with an understanding of the sorrow felt in Newtown, Conn., are making handmade sympathy cards for students in that city.
Students in New Town, are sending the cards this week to students at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six adults were killed by a gunman last week.
The North Dakota students shared a similar heartbreak and loss last month when a grandmother and three of her young grandchildren were shot to death in their home just a block from the city's middle school.
The North Dakota students began crafting the cards on Wednesday while their schools were on lockdown due to a barricaded situation in a neighborhood near the city's high school.
