Families, friends of those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School usher team onto field.
NORTH JERSEY — More than 200 students from Sandy Hook Elementary School were among 400 people from Newtown, Conn., who formed a tunnel for New York Giants players to run through as they took the field Sunday for their final home game of the 2012 season. A little more than two weeks after a 20-year-old gunman stormed into the Connecticut elementary school and killed 26 people, including 20 children, families, classmates and neighbors of the dead were bused to MetLife Stadium and given tickets to the contest by the Giants. The group of Newtown residents received high-fives and handshakes from the athletes as they entered the field.

Anonymous residents donate $10,000 for gun buy-back in Montclair.
Residents lit candles on Church Street yesterday for those killed in the school shooting in Newtown, Conn., and called for stricter gun regulation in America. Nearly 100 residents gathered on Church Street at the six corners yesterday to mourn the 20 children and six adults killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School last week.

To the Editor, As a parent and citizen I am doing everything in my power to reduce the number of guns on the streets. I was deeply disappointed to note that Montclair Mayor Robert Jackson is not part of the coalition of Mayors nationwide supporting effective gun laws. Mayors Against Illegal Guns is a bipartisan coalition of more than 725 mayors –representing 57 million Americans – who support common-sense gun laws. I ask you to join this coalition as a priority and to share this information with our town so that we citizens can come out behind you and speak up for stronger gun control. For every day that nothing changes, 34 people are murdered by gunshot. Melina Macall Montclair
