Fund Okayed for Sandy Hook Police, Others

By Mark Pazniokas

The state House of Representatives voted 143-0 today to pass legislation creating a special fund for first responders, teachers and others who suffered psychological trauma from the mass murder of 26 children and women at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Senate passage will come later today.

Backed by private donations, the fund will supplement a workers’ compensation system that does not reimburse for lost wages and other expenses caused solely by mental trauma.

At least two Newtown police officers have not worked since Dec. 14, when police entered Sandy Hook expecting to confront an active shooter, only to find carnage in the main hallway and two classrooms—the bodies of 20 first graders and six educators, some shot 11 times.

Others have missed time sporadically, with the expectation that the trauma of that day will be felt for months and possibly longer. In all, 150 to 200 people were at the school or responded to the emergency.
