Updates on School Shooting
A man armed with two semiautomatic pistols forcibly entered an elementary school Friday and killed 20 children in a rampage that left 27 people dead and one injured in this suburban town before he took his own life, authorities said.
Police said the suspect, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, apparently broke through glass partitions next to the front door of Sandy Hook Elementary School and began firing shortly after 9:30 a.m., concentrating on two classrooms. It was the second-worst campus shooting in U.S. history.

Profiles of the Victims: Jack Pinto, 6
As a first grader at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Jack Pinto was an ardent sports fan who enjoyed skiing, football, baseball and wrestling and is described as having a "steely determination" in an online obituary posted by the Honan Funeral Home in Newtown.
"Jack was an incredibly loving and vivacious young boy, appreciated by all who knew him for his lively and giving spirit," the obituary read. "In life and death, Jack will forever be remembered for the immeasurable joy he brought to all who had the pleasure of knowing him, a joy whose wide reach belied his six short years."
In a statement released to media outlets, family members described Jack as having a "wide smile that would simply light up the room." On a Facebook memorial page, Jack is pictured in a red baseball uniform, beaming while holding a baseball bat.
After learning about Jack's love for the New York Giants, receiver Victor Cruz contacted the Pinto family over the weekend and wrote tributes to Jack on the shoes that he wore in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. At a press conference after the game, Cruz said he spoke with Jack's 11-year-old brother, who was distraught and "fighting tears" during the conversation.
"He could barely speak to me, so I was just talking to him and telling him to stay strong and stay positive," said Cruz. "Obviously when a family is facing that much tragedy you want to be someone that inspires them, someone that can put a smile on their face at a time when it's tough to do that."

Profiles of the Victims: Benjamin Wheeler, 6
Benjamin Wheeler and his older brother, Nate, whom he adored, could fill their home with the noise of four children. Ben, 6 years old, had made it known that he wanted to be an architect, but the pull of his 9-year-old brother was strong.
"I still want to be an architect, but I also want to be a paleontologist, because that's what Nate is going to be and I want to do everything Nate does," he told his mom before he left for Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday, according to his family.
Ben's parents, Francine and David Wheeler, described him in a statement as an "irrepressibly bright and spirited boy whose love of fun and excitement at the wonders of life and the world could rarely be contained."
A soccer player, he moved the ball around the field at "full-tilt," smiling and laughing. Ben was a fan of the Beatles. He loved lighthouses and the No. 7 train to Sunnyside, Queens, the family said. He was also a Tiger Cub scout and was taking swimming lessons.
Earlier this month, he performed at a piano recital. He reveled in sitting still long enough to play one piece, according to the family. "His rush to experience life was headlong, creative and immediate," the family said.

Rachel Marie D'Avino, 29
Rachel Marie D'Avino was described by her family as a "true hero" who died "protecting the children she loved so dearly."
According to an obituary released by a local funeral home handling Ms. D'Avino's services, her boyfriend, Anthony Cerritelli, was going to propose on Christmas Eve.
Ms. D'Avino graduated from Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury in 2001. She went on to receive a bachelor's degree from University of Hartford and a Master's Degree from Post University. She was working toward her doctorate degree from University of St. Joseph of Hartford.
She had completed her final requirements to become a board certified behavior analyst last week. "Her presence and tremendous smile brightened any room she entered," the obituary said.
Ms. D'Avino was the oldest of three children of Ralph and Mary D'Avino and was known to treat her siblings like they were her own children.
Ms. D'Avino loved animals, cooking, baking, photography, and karate, but "her passion, however, was her occupation as a behavioral therapist working with children within the autism spectrum."
She held several positions in behavioral therapy during her career and was described as a therapist who had a knack for integrating children into daily life by treating them as if they were her own, "often taking them into her home, hosting holidays and crafting parties for them."
"Ultimately, it is these gifts that would have given Rachel a level of understanding and forgiveness during this time of crisis that many others wouldn't have," the obit read.

Jessica Rekos, 6
Jessica Rekos loved all things equestrian.
The six-year-old watched horse movies, read horse books, drew pictures of horses, wrote stories about horses. She asked Santa for new cowgirl boots and a cowgirl hat.
And her parents had promised her a real live horse when she turned 10.
"Jessica was our first born. She started our family, and she was our rock," her family said in a statement. "She had an answer for everything, she didn't miss a trick, and she outsmarted us every time. We called her our little CEO for the way she carefully thought out and planned everything. We cannot imagine our life without her."
Her family recalled her as a creative child who loved playing with her younger brothers, Travis and Shane.
"She was a gorgeous, sweet, fun-loving girl," said her uncle Craig Lehman, 52, of Tampa, Fla. "Like the rest of them, gone too soon."
After seeing the movie "Free Willy" last year, Jessica immersed herself in research on orca whales and pined to see a real one. In October, she got her wish at SeaWorld.
"We are mourning her loss, sharing our beautiful memories we have of her, and trying to help her brother Travis understand why he can't play with his best friend," her family said. "We are devastated, and our hearts are with the other families who are grieving as we are."

Dawn Hochsprung, 47, School Principal
Dawn Hochsprung gave everything to the 500 families she counted as part of the Sandy Hook Elementary School community – including, in the end, her own life.
As school principal, she arrived early, stayed late and knew every name of the nearly 700 students at the school. She frequented the Sandy Hook Diner for early-morning meals before the school day began, sometimes holding meetings at the restaurant, recalled co-owner Ellie Lewis.
Ms. Hochsprung welcomed the more than 1,000 parents linked to the school to visit her classrooms, according to a letter she sent home earlier this year, and circulated on Twitter photos of their children learning and volunteering.
At home, she was a wife, mother and grandmother. On Friday nights and weekends, she attended a doctoral program at the Esteves School of Education in upstate New York, where she impressed the dean, Lori Quigley, with her "infectious smile" and pride in her work.
"Every parent who knows her just adores her," agreed Diane Day, a therapist for the district who was in a routine meeting with Ms. Hochsprung that was interrupted by the sound of gunfire as suspect Adam Lanza, 20, forced his way into the school. Witnesses said she ran towards the danger, making her one of the first victims in a rampage that would claim 26 lives at the school, including 20 students.
Dianne Shay, a substitute teacher and neighbor in nearby Woodbury, Conn., said Ms. Hochsprung was always available for students. "She would go into classrooms and say good morning," Ms. Shay recalled. "That's the type of person she was."
She took a personal interest in the lives of her staff as well. When she noticed Connie Malgrande, a speech pathologist, seemed a little sad during a recent meeting, she invited her colleague into her office.
"She said, come on in and have some candy and let's talk it over," said Ms. Malgrande. "I considered her a friend. I'm going to miss her greatly."
Ms. Malgrande said the descriptions of her principal's heroism were right in character. "That's just who she was," Ms. Malgrande said. "She was a take-charge kind of person. I can see her doing anything to keep the school safe."

Caroline Previdi, 6
Caroline Previdi was a smiling six-year-old whose efforts to make people laugh earned her the nickname "Silly Caroline."
She will also be remembered for accompanying a nervous kindergartener on the school bus.
Caroline, a first-grader, sat with Karen Dryer's son, Logan, on the bus each day "so he wasn't scared," the mom said.
Ms. Dryer hasn't yet broken the news to her. "I'm going to miss her very much," Ms. Dryer said.
Profiles of Victims: James Mattioli, 6
Neighbors remember 6-year-old James Mattioli as a happy child who would wait for the school bus at the bottom of the family's driveway with his dad.
"I knew him as the little boy with the 1,000-Watt smile," said one neighbor.
Family gathered Sunday at the Mattiolis' gray, two-story home, which has a multicolored play structure in the backyard. A Christmas wreath hung on the front door.
His mother, Cindy Mattioli, grew up in Sherrill, N.Y. The mayor of that town, William Vineall, told the Utica Observer-Dispatch: "It's a terrible tragedy, and we're a tight community. Everybody will be there for them, and our thoughts and prayers are there for them."

Nancy Lanza, 52
Some neighbors and relatives remembered Nancy Lanza, the 52-year-old mother of the suspected gunman behind one of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history, as a retiring person who largely kept to herself. But those who knew her well say she could be warm, open and gregarious—a favorite at a town bar who sometimes gave Red Sox tickets to friends there.
Ms. Lanza ate at My Place, the local bar, as much as three days a week and enjoyed a craft beer or two with her meal, said bartender Michael Agius, 26. "She was just a part of the bar family over there," he said. "She was such a friendly person."
Ms. Lanza grew up in Kingston, N.H., and lived there near her extended family until moving to Newtown in 1998. Her family is well-known in the small New Hampshire town, where Ms. Lanza's mother was a school nurse and her brother, James Champion, works in law enforcement.
Kingston Police Chief Donald Briggs Jr. called Ms. Lanza a "very, very kind, considerate, loving young lady." He added: "She was very involved in the community, very well respected."
She became the first victim in the Friday morning massacre that would eventually claim the lives of 20 schoolchildren and six adults. The youngest of her two sons, suspected gunman Adam Lanza, 20, allegedly shot her in the head multiple times before heading to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he took his own life with a single bullet, according to Connecticut's chief medical examiner.
Ms. Lanza's body was discovered in the aftermath of the attack on the school inside the yellow Colonial-style home she had shared with Adam. The comfortable, well-kept home in an upscale neighborhood called Bennett's Farm was a few blocks from Paugussett State Forest.
There had been strains within the Lanza family. Ms. Lanza divorced her husband, Peter Lanza, in 2009 after a long separation, a relative said.
In recent months, Adam had seemed to pull away from his family, according to Dan Holmes, a landscaper who worked on Ms. Lanza's property and who would occasionally see her at My Place. When Nancy took her older son, 24-year-old Ryan Lanza, to see a concert in New Orleans, Adam didn't join them.
"It got to the point where she did not have a close relationship with her son," Mr. Holmes said.
Ms. Lanza was a gun collector and avid shooter, friends said, and she lived in a heavily wooded area frequented by hunters. She showed one of "her beautiful rifles, an old collectible she was very proud of" to Mr. Holmes. He said she and her sons "would go target shooting as a family."
Ms. Lanza "seemed to really enjoy gardening and landscaping," said Newtown resident Rhonda Cullens, who said she and Ms. Lanza were part of a group of neighborhood women who used to gather once a month to play bunco, a parlor game with dice.
Gina McDade, who lives a few houses away from Ms. Lanza and saw her from time to time at the grocery store, remembers Ms. Lanza putting up Christmas lights outside the house and as a member of the ladies' night club.
"I feel so bad for Nancy and the tarnishing of her family," Mrs. McDade said. "She was a stay-at-home mom who loved her kids.…She was like anybody else, she would decorate the house [on Christmas], the house was always pristine. She was like any other housewife."

Grace Audrey McDonnell, 7
Grace Audrey McDonnell, 7 years old, was the love and light of her family's lives.
"We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from so many people," her parents, Lynn and Chris McDonnell, and her brother, Jack, said in a statement. "Words cannot adequately express our sense of loss."
Neighbor Orlando Domingos said the image of Grace that would remain with him is the little girl with bright blue eyes and golden hair, standing at the bus stop with her mother.
"She was very little, just coming into the world," Mr. Domingos said. "She was a beautiful little girl, a beautiful, beautiful little girl."

Profiles of the Victims: Madeleine F. Hsu, 6
To neighbor Karen Dryer, Madeleine Hsu was Maddy, the little girl who always wore bright, flowery dresses and shared a ride to school with her 5-year-old son, Logan.
Ms. Dryer said Madeleine was "very upbeat and kind."
"She was a sweet, beautiful little girl," Ms. Dryer said.
The Hsu family moved into the neighborhood within the last few years, Ms. Dryer said. Madeleine's mother would schedule work so she could meet her daughter as soon as she got home from school, always waiting at the end of the driveway in a red minivan.
Profiles of the Victims: Josephine Gay, 7
Josephine Gay had an innocent childhood like so many others, riding her bike in the street and setting up a lemonade stand in the summer. She had just celebrated her seventh birthday Tuesday.
Josephine loved the color purple. In memory, homes in the new subdivision of large houses, about 20 minutes from Sandy Hook Elementary School, hung purple balloons on mailboxes and gates. A neighbor recalled the family as "very kind. The girls were anxious for our kids to move in. They were very welcoming."

Profiles of the Victims: Charlotte Bacon, 6
At six years old, Charlotte Bacon had already developed a knack for the power of persuasion, said her uncle, John Hagen.
Charlotte had recently been shopping for a new outfit – a pink dress and white boots — that were set aside for the holidays. After weeks of Charlotte asking, her mother, JoAnn Bacon, finally relented on Friday, letting her daughter wear the clothes to school. Charlotte had even done her hair for the school day.
"She had been working on my sister for weeks to wear this outfit," Mr. Hagen said. "If she wanted to get something, she was going to get it. She had a strong personality."
Having lived across the country, the Bacons settled several years ago in Sandy Hook, where Joel Bacon worked as a scientist and his wife was a stay-at-home mother, said Hagen, 52, of Minneapolis.
Mr. Hagen recalled one of the last times he saw Charlotte. The families had gathered for a reunion at a summer home in upstate Minnesota for the fourth of in July in 2011.
The uncle was on a pontoon with Charlotte. "She was about 4 to 5 years old at the time," he said. "I watched her go and run off the pontoon and into the water with total confidence. She lived life with gusto. This little girl knew how to live life."
Upon learning of the shooting Friday, Joel and JoAnn Bacon went to firehouse staging area near the school, where they soon met their 9-year-old son, Guy.
"At the fire station, Guy came and no Charlotte," he said. "They were there until 4 o'clock that afternoon waiting, probably knowing the end result already."
"She knew something bad had happened because all the families in the fire station were from Charlotte's class," Mr. Hagen said.
JoAnn told him that she'd served as the Girl Scout troop leader for Charlotte. "She said there was 10 of the girls in the group," he said, "and five of them are gone."

Profiles of the Victims: Ana Marquez-Greene, 6
Saxophonist Jimmy Greene moved his family from Canada, where he was a college professor, to Sandy Hook just a few months ago. A Bloomfield, Conn., native, he wanted to come home, where the heart is, he told the Hartford Courant in May.
On Saturday, a day after his 6-year-daughter Ana was shot to death at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Mr. Greene wrote on Facebook that he was trying to "work through this nightmare."
"As much as she's needed here and missed by her mother, brother and me, Ana beat us all to paradise. I love you sweetie girl," he wrote.
Elba Marquez, Ana's grandmother, told the Associated Press that the family moved to Connecticut just two months ago and were drawn to Sandy Hook's reputation. Mr. Greene is now a full-time jazz faculty member at Western Connecticut State University at Danbury.
Jorge Marquez, Elba Marquez's brother, said the child's 9-year-old brother was also at the school, but escaped safely.
Profiles of the Victims: Anne Marie Murphy, 52
Anne Marie Murphy worked as an aide at Sandy Hook Elementary School, teaching art and special education, while she patiently waited for a full-time position to open up. She just wanted to be around the children, friends said.
That Ms. Murphy, 52 years old, would be among the six adults who gave their lives in an effort to protect those children did not seem out of character to her friends.
"If there's one comfort these parents can have, it's knowing that Annie had her strong, loving arms around them at the end," said Gael Lynch, an employee of another school in the district and a family friend. "She was a sweetheart and she loved Sandy Hook."
On Saturday, mourners gathered at Ms. Murphy's two-story home, which sits on top of a hill. A Christmas wreath with white lights hung above the door, and friends left candles and flowers at the entrance to the driveway. Just down the street was the home of 6-year-old James Mattioli, one of 20 students killed on Friday.
"It was my wife. It was a terrible tragedy," said Mike Murphy, her husband. "She just tried to protect her kids."
Ms. Murphy had four children of her own.
She grew up around a lot of children: Ms. Murphy was one of seven siblings, and her neighbors also had large families. During her childhood in Katonah, N.Y., there was always a playmate nearby, remembered longtime friend Nancy Bellini.
"Obviously, she must have done something good to help the kids she was there for," Ms. Bellini said. "I could just see it being her priority to make sure her kids were OK."
Ms. Murphy graduated in 1978 from John F. Kennedy Catholic High School, where she was a member of the school's successful cross-country team. Ms. Bellini said her friend loved art and had painted a mural in her family's garage.
Every Memorial Day, Ms. Murphy would return to Katonah to watch her dad march in the parade. Christmas Eve was spent at a home overflowing with family members.
Neighbor Mark Malia, 58, choked up Saturday night as he described his longtime friend. He said he wasn't the type to have a lot of friends.
"I don't know how to say it other than we're kind of picky with friends," he explained, standing on his porch in Newtown. "But she was a friend."

Profiles of the Victims, Olivia Engel, 6
Outside the house where Olivia Engel, 6 years old, lived, a sign asked for privacy, an increasingly common request in these streets following Friday's mass shooting.
Olivia's parents, Brian and Shannon Engel, also have a little boy, Brayden, 3 years old.
"It's been a difficult day to talk to the family," a cousin, John Engel III of New Canaan, said on Saturday night. The couple have been with their parents, he said, and attended Mass on Saturday afternoon.
An outgoing girl with a ready laugh, Olivia had "a great sense of humor" and showed insight beyond her six years, according to a statement from her family. "She was a great big sister," they said, patient with Brayden and always the one to lead grace each night at the dinner table.
Olivia loved school and excelled at math and reading. She also had a creative streak–she drew, took art and dance classes and liked to design things. "When she made us cards, you thought, 'Wow, that came from a first-grader?'" said Mr. Engel.
A tennis player, Olivia also loved soccer and musical theater. She was a Girl Scout Daisy, the level for girls in kindergarten and first grade, was involved with her parish's religious education program and was learning her rosary, her family said.
"Her favorite colors were purple and pink. She loved her lamb stuffed animal," her family said. "She was a grateful child who was always appreciative and never greedy."
She was, Mr. Engel said, "a tremendous little girl."

Profiles of Victims: Emilie Parker, 6
The eldest of three, Emilie Parker, 6, was a loving girl, a leader and a "best friend" to her little sisters, her father, Robbie Parker, said at an emotional news conference Saturday evening.
All three were born within three years of one another. The younger girls are 3 and 4, he said.
"They were all very close," said Mr. Parker. "She was teaching my middle daughter to read. She would help my youngest daughter how to make things, show her how to do crafts."
Mr. Parker said the family moved to Newtown about eight months ago, when he accepted a job in Danbury as a physician's assistant. They have family in Utah, and formerly lived in Ogden, Utah, according to press reports.
Emilie was kind and sunny-natured, Mr. Parker said, "the type of person who could just light up a room." She was, he said, "an incredible person, and I am so blessed to be her dad."
He said her sisters looked up to her: "It was really sweet to see the times when one of them would fall or one of them would get their feelings hurt, how they would run to Emilie for support and hugs and kisses."
Mr. Parker had been teaching Emilie Portuguese. On Friday morning, before he left for work, the two chatted in Portuguese. "She said she loved me, and she gave me a kiss, and I was out the door."
The Parkers' extended family has set up a memorial fund in her name. Speaking at the news conference, Jill Garrett, an aunt of Emilie's, said the fund will be used to bring her back to Utah "for her final resting place."

Profiles of the Victims: Chase Kowalski, 7
Chase Kowalski, 7 years old, loved playing baseball outside with his dad, said neighbor Suzanne Baumann.
She said she often saw the boy, one of the children slain Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary School, riding an all-terrain vehicle around the yard—all smiles.
"He did nothing but smile," said Ms. Baumann who has lived next door to the family in Sandy Hook, Conn., for 13 years. "He was the apple of his parents' eye."
Ms. Baumann said Chase was never shy. He always said 'hello,'" she said. "He was very receptive to people. He was a beautiful child, an amazing child."

Profiles of the Victims: Catherine V. Hubbard, 6
On a small cul-de-sac in Sandy Hook, Conn., 6-year-old Catherine V. Hubbard lived with her family in a two-story home that on Saturday had Christmas wreaths hanging from many windows.
The first-grader was among those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday.
On Saturday, the girls's family congregated there and asked for prayers.
"We are greatly saddened by the loss of our beautiful daughter, Catherine Violet, and our thoughts and prayers are with the other families who have been affected by this tragedy," the family said in a statement. "We ask that you continue to pray for us and the other families who have experienced loss in this tragedy."

Profiles of the Victims: Daniel Barden, 7
Daniel Barden was an active first-grader, a budding athlete who was a member of the swim team and loved to play soccer.
He was a "sweet boy," said Karin LaBanca, whose 8-year-old daughter, Maggie, was friends with 7-year-old Daniel. The two children took the school bus together every day, she said.
Daniel's parents were identified in public records as Jacqueline and Mark Barden. He was a nephew of New York City Police Lt. James Giblin.
Friends visited the family's Sandy Hook home Saturday morning with Rich Flashman, a pastor at the Beacon Hill Evangelical Free Church in Monroe, Conn. He said he prayed with the family.
"They're hurting," Mr. Flashman said. "It's exactly what you would expect. They just need prayer right now."
"They're grieving," he added. "All they know is they lost their child."
Ms. LaBanca, who lives next-door, said Daniel was in the first-grade class of teacher Amanda D'Amato, who could not be reached for comment.
As Maggie spoke about her friend, Ms. LaBanca, 41, stood close and put an arm around her shoulders. The mother gently pushed the bangs away from her daughter's eyes.
During the rampage, Maggie hid in a classroom with her third-grade classmates for about an hour, until police brought them to a nearby firehouse. She said she looked for Daniel there but couldn't find her friend.
"He likes to play foosball and soccer," Maggie said.
Ms. LaBanca, speaking of the Bardens, said: "I know that they're just so devastated."

Victim's Father Remembers Daughter
Father of shooting victim Emilie Parker, 6, spoke to the press on Saturday evening. Remembering his daughter, he said: "She used her talents to touch the lives of everyone she came into contact with." "She always had something kind to say about anybody," he added. "She was an incredible person. I am so blessed to be her dad."
Profiles of the Victims: Lauren Rousseau, 30
Last September, Lauren Rousseau's phone rang with a hard-won opportunity: a teaching position at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The job, as a full-time substitute, offered little in the way of security or stability. It meant accepting a different classroom assignment on a daily basis without benefits or the promise of a permanent position. The pay was a meager $75 a day.
Ms. Rousseau, 30 years old, was thrilled.
"Oh she called so excited, she was just on cloud nine," recalled her father, Gilles Rousseau, a photographer from Southbury, Conn. "She had such big plans. She would just go on and on about the kids."
Ms. Rousseau's mother said the oldest of her three children decided early to be a teacher. She still has an old photo of a very young Lauren standing at a chalkboard, her toys at her feet.
"She used to talk to her dolls like she was their teacher," said Terri Rousseau, a journalist who lives in Danbury, Conn.
After graduating with a degree in education from the University of Connecticut in 2004, Ms. Rousseau got her masters degree from the University of Bridgeport in 2006 with the goal of becoming an elementary-school teacher. But teacher layoffs in the area in recent years made even substitute jobs scarce.
She had a lucky link to Sandy Hook. Dawn Hochsprung, the school principal who died trying to stop the gunman, was a family friend. Ms. Hochsprung's husband, George, had once been Ms. Rousseau's grade-school teacher.
Ms. Rousseau had already moved back into her childhood home where her divorced mother still lived. To make the teaching job work, she put in after-school hours behind the counter of a busy Starbucks just off the interstate at the Connecticut-New York border, a demanding second job that supplied health insurance. She often drove directly to the coffee shop from school, changing clothes in her Honda Civic to save time.
Several chances for non-substitute teaching job looked promising but eventually fell apart, and her father said that she had struggled to pay her bills.
In her free time, Ms. Rousseau kept up with friends online and played with her cat, Laila, a regular feature in family photos and on her Christmas cards. A favorite getaway was a train trip to a Broadway show in Manhattan, preferably midweek for discounted tickets.
Last year, things started looking up. An Internet date blossomed into a full-fledged romance. She went to parties and Yankees games with her boyfriend, Tony. There was talk of marriage, her mother said.
"I'll take some comfort that the last year of her life was her happiest," the elder Ms. Rousseau said on Saturday.
On Friday night, she said her daughter had planned to see the new film "The Hobbit" and had baked Hobbit-themed cupcakes for a friend's birthday.
The family's initial optimism early in the day that Ms. Rousseau had survived the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School turned to dread as night fell without word from her. Calls and text messages to her cellphone went unanswered, and at 1 a.m. Saturday a Connecticut state trooper knocked on her father's door. The officer was flanked by a minister and counselors.
The officials offered no details as to how or where Ms. Rousseau died, saying only that she had been identified among the six adults and 20 children who had died at the school.

Profiles of the Victims: Noah Pozner, 6
The Pozner family got word late Friday afternoon that Noah, their 6-year-old son, was among the dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School, said Reuben Vabner, the father of Noah's elder siblings.
Mr. Vabner, who was once married to Noah's mother, Veronique Pozner, but now lives in Washington D.C., said he was headed Saturday up to Connecticut. He hadn't spoken with his former wife, he said, adding, "I will see her tonight."
People at a Newtown address where Veronique Pozner is listed declined to comment Saturday.
Mr. Vabner said his children, Danielle and Michael Vabner, were devastated.
He described Noah, whom he said he had met only a few times, as bright and precocious. "Noah's an extraordinarily cute young child," he said.
He said it was unimaginable that anyone could "meticulously" gun down a classroom full of young children. "I just can't contemplate" it, he said.
Rabbi Shaul Praver of Congregation Adath Israel, said he didn't know Noah Pozner personally but taught his older brother, Michael Vabner, for his Bar Mitzvah. He said the family didn't have active membership at the synagogue, but he thought that it would become more involved once Noah and his twin sister were older.
"He was a sweet kid," said David Wiener, a past president of the synagogue who was at a memorial service held there Saturday as part of its regular Shabbat services.
Profiles of the Victims: Jesse Lewis, 6
When Barbara McSperrin, of Beacon Falls, Conn., heard news of the shooting on Friday, she sent a text to her friend Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son, Jesse, attended Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The response came later in the day. The text message from Ms. Lewis said only: "Jesse's gone."
Boisterous and imaginative, Jesse was raised in the village of Sandy Hook with his brother, J.T. Family friends say he played with the family's collection of animals: five horses; a mini-horse; a mini-donkey; three dogs; and chickens. Recently, he was learning to ride horseback, the friends said.
"Jesse was such an incredible light," his mother, Scarlett Lewis, said in a email on Sunday. "So bright and full of love. He lived life with vigor and passion…brave and true."
Jesse liked to think up far-fetched scenarios, asking "What if…" before spinning a hypothetical tale, a family friend said.
A woman who helps look after the family's horses said Jesse and her 8-year-old son used to play in the hayloft and dream up pranks. The last time the boys were together, they had the idea of barricading the door to the barn with bricks.
"He was a force who lit up a room when he entered," Ms. Lewis said. "Compassionate and caring," Jesse was, she said, "wise and soulful beyond his years."
He and his parents were regulars at Newtown's Misty Vale Deli, according to a manager there, Angel Salazar.
On Friday morning, Jesse had ordered his favorite breakfast sandwich—sausage, egg, and cheese—and a hot chocolate, Mr. Salazar said.
He expected to see Jesse again on Saturday morning, when he usually comes in with his mother and a friend. This Saturday, only the friend came, and she delivered the news.
"They told me he ran into the hall to help," Ms. Lewis said. "I can only hope this meant he had less fear and went quickly in his bravery. … It is unbelievable to us that Jesse is now in heaven with Jesus."

Profiles of the Victims: Mary Sherlach, 56
In October, Superstorm Sandy was bearing down on Trumbull, Conn., but Mary Sherlach and her husband rushed across the street to their neighbors' house after seeing a downed tree.
She just wanted to make sure everyone was OK, said the neighbor, Kathy Lucas, 52.
Ms. Sherlach followed that instinct Friday at Sandy Hook elementary school, where she worked as the school psychologist, witnesses said. When she heard shots fired, Ms. Sherlach and school principal Dawn Hochsprung quickly left a meeting and headed toward the danger, a witness said.
She was one of 26 people who were killed at the school, not including the alleged gunman, who authorities said took his own life.
John Lucas, 51, said Ms. Sherlach would often sit on her front porch on a white, wicker loveseat. The neighbors said she had two adult daughters, and cared deeply about her family.
"A wonderful couple, just devoted to each other," Ms. Lucas said.

Hubbard, Chase Kowalski, Jesse Lewis, James Mattioli, Grace McDonnell, Emilie Parker, Jack Pinto, Noah Pozner, Caroline Previdi, Jessica Rekos, Avielle Richman, Benjamin Wheeler, Allison N. Wyatt
The staff: Rachel Davino, Dawn Hochsprung, Anne Marie Murphy, Lauren Rousseau, Mary Joy Sherlach, Victoria Soto.
Shooting Victims Shot More Than Once
All the victims of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School were hit by more than one bullet, Connecticut's chief medical examiner said Saturday, after autopsies of the 26 schoolchildren and school staff were completed.
Dr. H. Wayne Carver II also said many of the victims were shot with "the long gun," a reference to the assault rifle reportedly found on the alleged shooter, Adam Lanza.
Lt. J. Paul Vance, a state police spokesman, also confirmed that there was "no relation at all" between Mr. Lanza, his mother and presumed victim, Nancy Lanza, and Sandy Hook Elementary, the site of the attack.
Examiner says he believes all victims were shot more than once.
Dr. H. Wayne Carver said at a news conference Saturday the deaths are classified as homicides.
Medical examiner says all deaths in Connecticut school shooting were homicides by gunshot wounds. He says all wounds were caused by "the long rifle."
Gov. Malloy Delivers Hard News to Families
The families waiting in the firehouse on Friday afternoon were in varying stages of hope, disbelief and denial. For some, it fell to Gov. Dannel Malloy to tell them their children were dead.
The governor was "stricken," said his senior advisor, Roy Occhiogrosso, as he delivered the awful news to more than a dozen parents.
In the confusion of the firehouse near Sandy Hook Elementary School, where frantic parents reunited with their children in the aftermath of the shooting, it wasn't always clear to those who couldn't locate children what their absence meant. Some who had seemed to hold onto undue hope, hours after surviving children had been whisked away from the scene of the massacre,
"They thought their kids were still being tended to in the school, or being taken to another hospital," said Mr. Occhiogrosso, who was in the room with Mr. Malloy. "They thought their kids could still be alive.
Some dropped to the floor, Mr. Occhiogrosso said, collapsing under the weight of the news.
Mr. Malloy is known for persistence to the point of abrasiveness on the public stage, but has had to provide emotional support to constituents before. As governor, he has attended memorials for troops killed in action, including the child of a friend. As mayor of Stamford, Mr. Malloy led a city that was deeply affected by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, losing six residents and feeling the loss of others because of its links to the finance industry and Manhattan.
Mr. Occhiogrosso said his boss was deeply affected on Friday. Later that evening, in a televised shot from a public vigil for the 27 victims, Mr. Malloy could be seen hunched forward in a pew, wringing his fingers, as Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman sat stock still beside him.
Mr. Malloy was scheduled to speak on statewide television at 5 p.m. Saturday from the governor's office in the State Capitol in Hartford.
Rabbi Shaul Praver of Congregation Adath Israel when the governor came in to announce all the children had been killed, not everyone immediately understood, leaving one parent to shout out, "Does that mean my kid is dead or alive?" Once the governor was clear that all children were killed, Rabbi Praver said some parents were in shock and others erupted into wailing. One man was hitting himself in the head, said Rabbi Praver. "He wanted to roll himself into a ball," he said. "It was just a horrible thing to see a person in that state of mind."
Although some parents weren't happy with how the governor handled the situation, Rabbi Praver said its difficult news to deliver that nobody is trained for. "Governors are used to providing solutions," he said. "Who is trained for that?"

Federal Agents Group Blasts Senator
An organization of federal agents blasted an anonymous senator who is blocking a bill that would clarify how agents are allowed to assist in responding to major incidents such as the elementary school shooting in Connecticut.
According to the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, an unknown U.S. senator placed what is known as a "hold" on the Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act. The bill is one the Federal Bureau of Investigation sought to clarify that federal law enforcement agents are acting in the scope of their employment when they respond to violent incidents like a mass shooting, in which there is no immediate evidence of violations of federal law.

History of Mass Shootings and Gun Control
In an essay for Speakeasy, Adam Winkler, a law professor and the author of "Gunfight," provides context on why gun-control incidents once led to significant reforms — but no longer do. He explains the NRA's previous mission to limit gun ownership, and why that all changed in the 1970s.

School as a Crime Scene
The school was expected to remain an active crime scene at least through Sunday, Lt. Sinko said. In addition to the buildings, investigators were searching a large number of vehicles in the parking lot. The suspect's car remained outside the school on Saturday morning.
Gunman Forced Way Into School
Lt. J. Paul Vance, a spokesman for the Connecticut State Police, said Saturday that all of the victims had been identified and they would release their names as soon as the medical examiner completed its work.
The forcible entry helped solve one of the many unanswered questions about the massacre Friday: how a heavily armed young man was able to pass through the locked security doors of an elementary school.
"He was not voluntarily let into the school at all," Lt. Vance said. "He was not allowed in."

Teacher Put Herself Between 'Kids and Gunman's Bullets'
When her students were in danger, her instincts kicked in.
First-grade teacher Vicki Leigh Soto, 27 years old, died trying to protect the children she loved, her cousin Jim Wiltsie said. When the gunfire started on Friday morning, she gathered her students and tried to hide them in a classroom closet, officials told her family.
"In doing so, she put herself between the kids and the gunman's bullets," said Mr. Wiltsie, who is a police officer. "That is how she was found. Huddled with her children." He said he didn't know if her students were among the dead.

The splicing of "homosexual" and its more common synonym, "gay". Saying "homogay" takes off two syllables that would otherwise need to be said in saying "homosexual". Semi-formal way of saying "gay".
He is homogay. (ho-mo-gay instead of ho-mo-sex-u-al)

Anyone seen it???
it actually follows the story line Optimus does die in the story and he does come back with the power of the matrix of leadership which is cool that they actually stuck with the story line somewhat.
I'm not into the live action movies. I guess I'm just into the cartoons more I guess.
hen't yet but it just came out yesturday all the trailers i've seen look so good."Power is whatever one makes of it."
Not just watch the movie but also check out new transformers toys!!!!But they're usually expensive "Thou art I. I am thou. Thou shalt be blessed when creating Personas of the Headphones arcana....."
i loved that movie
there were move fights and it seemed more violent fighting than the first one. it was so funny too, really didn't expect it to be so funny, but it was. A lot of autobots died though, not so cool. I want to see it again."Power is whatever one makes of it."
im just to busybut i hear its coolrumors say it lasts for two hours
alot more violence nd action,but it did suck that a whole lot autobots died,but it was funny!!
well i really don't know
it wa so cool and funny too ^_^
it had more action and fighting than the first one and it was funny too but way did prime had to lose his armor at the end of his fight
I saw Transformers 2 for my birthday and wasn't disappointed! Even though in some of the fight scenes its sometimes hard to tell whats actually going on, it's still awesome to watch and the humouros / witty script is great. Even though the character Leo can sometimes be a bit annoying. Each battle starring Prime is fantastic! And JetFire just made me laugh so much!Mixmaster looks amazing....bring on the third movie!!!
I haven't seen it yet but I heard it was good and some of the fight scenes are hard to see like that one scene in godzilla's revenge"It's Time To Take A Dirt Nap!!" - Dead Leaves, #666

This profile is part of IEEE Spectrum's Special Report on Dream Jobs 2010.
He attained geek immortality by coinventing the Sol-20 personal computer in the mid-1970s. He was a key member of the legendary Homebrew Computer Club and a recurring character in Steven Levy's 1984 book, Hackers. So you'd think that nowadays Bob Marsh might be tripping the light fantastic like fellow personal-computer pioneer Steve Wozniak, or at least kicking back and enjoying retirement.
But Marsh, 63, doesn't kick back. Fueled by coffee (really good coffee) and surrounded by a cadre of earnest young engineers, he's hard at work bridging the digital divide. By any means necessary.
"What's one of the key differences between someone in a village in Africa and someone here in the United States, even a poor person in a poor community?" he asks. Answer: "Google. If you have Internet access and Google, you can find anything."
As one of three cofounders of the San Francisco–based nonprofit Inveneo, and with funding from partners like Advanced Micro Devices, Cisco, and the United Nations, Marsh trots the globe to establish new computer centers in some of the world's most isolated and undeveloped locales. In partnership with local organizations, he's worked lately in Kenya, Mali, Rwanda, and Bangladesh.
"If you're in a capital city in any third-world country, say, Kinshasa or Kabul, you have all kinds of technology available," says Marsh. "But it's pretty hard to get access to technology at some little village in the middle of the jungle."
On a sunny October day in San Francisco, Marsh is brainstorming with coworkers at Inveneo's loftlike office at the edge of the city's downtown district. He'll be gone for the next four weeks, and he'll schlep from one side of the Democratic Republic of Congo to the other, starting in Kinshasa and ending in Bukavu, near the border with Rwanda.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Br. Nathan M. Cochran, O.S.B., instructor in fine arts, director of The Saint Vincent Gallery and artistic director of the Saint Vincent College Concert Series, was named the first winner of Saint Vincent College's new Projektenmacher Award in recognition of his creative initiative that, in the spirit of Saint Vincent Founder Boniface Wimmer, has made a valuable difference to the campus community through creativity, imagination and vision. The award was presented by Saint Vincent College President Br. Norman Hipps, O.S.B. during the Founders' Day Honors Convocation on November 17 in the Saint Vincent Basilica. "A year ago on Founders' Day, I announced my intention to honor a member of the Saint Vincent College community with a Projektenmacher Award," Br. Norman said. "Recall that Boniface Wimmer's fellow monks were derisive of his vision for a Mission to America, and even nicknamed him, 'Der Projektenmacher, that big Plan-Maker! That dreamer!' " "But at the end of Wimmer's life, after 40 years of extraordinary accomplishments in America, Projektenmacher came to identify an individual who got things done," Br. Norman continued. "Twenty-four years ago, we celebrated our first Founders' Day. It was made all the more memorable because of the efforts of Br. Nathan, who did a wonderful exhibit on Boniface Wimmer, where we saw things that had been tucked away and not seen for many years such as chalices that he used at prayer, personal items that he used at his desk, hand-written letters between Wimmer and such people as the King of Bavaria, or a local craftsman. And, most striking of all, the art treasures which Wimmer acquired as heirlooms for future generations to enjoy." "It's hard to believe that Wimmer and his eighteen companions lived in a log cabin, and yet, within seven years built buildings from scratch, amassed an important art collection, and assembled a renowned orchestra and choir," Br. Norman related. "When Br. Nathan arrived here in the early 1980s to share our common life, Saint Vincent had discontinued many of its programs in the fine arts. It was Br. Nathan who was a patient and tireless lobbyist, for the College to reactivate the fine arts program with greater zeal, and even for us to require a course in the arts as part of our core curriculum. He reminded the monks and the faculty, of the simple but profound message of Boniface Wimmer, who said: 'I am firmly convinced that a monastic school, which does not strive to advance art as much as science and religion, will be deficient in its work.'" "Br. Nathan reignited the interest that we once had by spending countless hours arranging art exhibits, and searching for America's most talented, to invite them here to treat us to wonderful concerts on classical and contemporary music and dance," Br. Norman said. "Of particular note, he initiated a Nationwide Juried Catholic Art Exhibition. For the third competition, he successfully enlisted Sister Wendy Beckett to serve as judge. She is a famed art historian from Great Britain, who is paradoxically a cloistered Carmelite nun, as well as a television star on the BBC." Sister Wendy wrote: "I think this endeavor by Br. Nathan is highly significant. Artists often come to understand their faith by the actual creation of artworks. We need these artworks, these attempts by artists known or unknown, to share with us their understanding of what it means to be a Christian. Would that there were hundreds of Brother Nathans in all countries!" "We honor you, Br. Nathan, for your courage to dream in ways that are not about you, but for a vision greater than yourself," Br. Norman said in making the presentation. "In this way, you help us to cherish the memory of our founder, Boniface Wimmer, who wrote: 'My heart is in this work, and I will spare no expense to teach the students first what is necessary, then what is useful, and finally what is beautiful so long as it contributes to their refinement.' In the name of the Saint Vincent College community, I wish to bestow the Projektenmacher Award to you, Br. Nathan Cochran, for your generous and priceless contribution to our common life, and to quietly show us that our natural attraction to beauty, can lead to the pursuit of the good, and to conduct our interior vision to all that is true." Br. Nathan earned a bachelor of arts degree at the Pontifical College Josephinum, a master of divinity degree from Saint Vincent Seminary, and a master of science degree from Pratt Institute. In addition to his work at Saint Vincent, Br. Nathan has served as a consultant to George Lucas Films while preparing for the release of a DVD of the television series, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. A member of the Emperor Karl League of Prayers for Peace Among Nations, he has worked to advance the cause of sainthood for Emperor Karl, who had ascended to the throne in the Austro-Hungarian empire in 1916, two years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, an act which had triggered the start of World War I.

Mother of Pearl is a unique category of pearls because it is not a separate spherical object created inside the mollusk like usual pearls. Instead, it is fashioned from the organic lining or inner shell layer of the oyster. This inner coating of the pearl-producing mollusk, also called nacre, has been valued for centuries and is available in a rainbow of fascinating colors. Look at any piece of finely crafted Mother of Pearl jewelry, and it is like looking at a sparkling tropical sunrise or sunset.
The key signature of every piece of Mother of Pearl is its iridescence, each one reflecting the light in its own unique way. Thus, no two pieces look alike. Throughout history, artisans have prized Mother of Pearl as a decorative component in artwork ranging from jewelry and wardrobe buttons to tile inlays and watches.
Unlike typical pearls, Mother of Pearl can actually be cut into a variety of shapes because in its raw state, it is an organic flat or slightly curved laminate. It comes in a variety of sizes, but one of the most popular ways that jewelers use this gorgeous pearl material is to create a mosaic design using a combination of smaller pieces in a variety of colors.
Mother of Pearl can be crafted into a wide range of gorgeous collectible jewelry, including pierced earrings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces and fashion rings. This iridescent pearl is often showcased with diamonds and other sparkling gemstones, creating a combination that is nothing short of spectacular.
Because of its name, Mother of Pearl jewelry makes the perfect gift for any mother or mother-to-be. Over the centuries, its popularity has continued to grow as its value as an heirloom is undeniable.

UNIVERSITY PARK - It didn't even take until kickoff time on Saturday before Penn State football coach James Franklin was sending out his customary "We Are Better" tweet to signal a new verbal commitment for the Nittany Lions.
"IM PLEASE TO ANNOUNCE I AM OFFICIALLY COMMITTED TO PENN STATE UNIVERSITY #WE ARE," defensive tackle Adam McLean declared about two hours before kickoff, giving the Nittany Lions the No. 1 prospect from the state of Maryland, their 12th verbal pledge for 2015 and the top-ranked class in the country for the time being.
That was just the highlight of a banner day for the Lions from the recruiting side of things. Although its spring game was competing with a big prospect combine in New Jersey, Penn State entertained an estimated 80 prospects at the Blue-White Game.
There were some pretty big names in that group, too, including McLean, four-star Baldwin tackle Sterling Jenkins, four-star New Jersey tackle Grant Newsome, D.C. quarterback Nick Johns and D.C. defensive back Ayron Monroe, as well as most of the 2014 recruiting class, many of the 2015 commits and a number of intriguing younger prospects.
"They got most of the big names they wanted here. You can never have enough big names," said Greg Pickel, who covers Penn State recruiting for Scout's FightOnState.com website. "It was a good turnout."
A 6-foot-2, 290-pounder from Quince Orchard High School, McLean has made 18 sacks over the past two years and already has been picked to play in the UnderArmour All-American Game. His offer sheet included more than 30 schools, most notably Alabama, Florida State, Florida, Michigan State, Ohio State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Texas A&M and Tennessee.
Getting McLean was big because he's a top prospect and he plays a position the Lions needed to address in this class. Pickel, though, said it was significant of other things.
"They wanted this guy from Maryland that has offers from quite a few schools all over the country, and they landed him. It's not totally certain that he was high on Penn State four months ago, and, since James Franklin's arrival, they established themselves with him," Pickel said. "They had so many '14 and '15 Maryland commitments to lean on Adam McLean. When you put the whole package together, it turns into a guy that, looking back on it, was always probably Penn State's to lose."
That seems to be the increasing sentiment when it comes to Jenkins, a 6-8, 305-pounder who is the consensus No. 1 prospect in Pennsylvania. He's made several trips to Penn State in the last couple of months and is expected to take another in May.
Some thought he'd be the one to commit on Saturday, but nothing materialized in the hours right after the game.
"He had a great trip at Ohio State [on Friday]. He was very involved with the other kids that were here today. He was very engaging and active with those guys, and that always leads to good things," Pickel said. "Marcus Allen [a 2014 signee] walked by him, slapped him on the shoulder and asked, 'Did you commit yet?' and he kind of laughed and said no. But he bonded with these guys. If he connects with the guys in this class it helps Penn State's chances immensely."
Pickel thinks Penn State will take more than one offensive tackle, so both Jenkins and Newsome could end up at Penn State.
Monroe also is on commitment watch after make his third visit in a month.
But the message is loud and clear that Penn State is a major player in recruiting at the moment.
"It's excitement. Penn State's the hot offer and the hot team to be talking to right now," Pickel said. "Everybody wants to be talking to Penn State whether they're 5 miles away or 5,000."

COLUMBIA – The words "neck injury" being associated with All-American junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney would seem, at first glance, to cause worries for South Carolina. But in this case, it's not a big deal at all.
USC has one spring practice left, on Thursday, before Saturday's spring game. There is a good chance Clowney will not participate either day, because of a sore back and neck. Clowney, the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in next year's NFL draft, missed Saturday's scrimmage because of the soreness and didn't practice Tuesday.
None of this is of great concern to USC's coaches – not the nature of the injury, nor Clowney missing a few practices more than four months before the season begins.
"His neck and back are still stiff," defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said Tuesday. "Whether he gets another snap (this spring), I don't care."
Clowney got hurt last week when he ran into defensive tackle J.T. Surratt.
"Me and him were trying to hit the running back at the same time," Clowney said. "I didn't see him out of the corner of my eye. I had already turned my head. He beat me to the spot. I ended up hitting him in the back and my helmet came down and pushed my neck.
"My back and my neck hurt me, but I should be OK coming out of spring ball. I should be coming around soon, hopefully."
As for whether he will play again this spring, Clowney said, "That's up to the coaches."
USC coach Steve Spurrier has long used spring practices to develop younger players. Returning stars like Clowney don't get a lot of snaps, even when they are healthy. They rarely participate in spring scrimmages or even the spring game.
The coaches have frequently dismissed the importance this spring of starting quarterback Connor Shaw, a senior, being sidelined all spring because of foot surgery. Quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus said Shaw already knows the system well, and isn't missing anything by standing on the sideline instead of going through practice reps.
So even if Clowney was 100 percent, he would probably spend most of the spring game on the sideline, with the other higher-profile players.
"Those older guys probably won't get a lot of reps (in the spring game), if they get any," Ward said.

Rooney, who had been in ill health for some time, passed away on Sunday, TMZ reports. According to the Associated Press, he was surrounded by family at his North Hollywood home, police said. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office said Rooney died a natural death.
A genuine showbiz legend whose career, like his personal life, was often likened to a roller-coaster, Rooney was multi-talented, eight-times married and many times written off, only to land back on his feet again and again. And while many of his personal tales were fanciful – Mickey Mouse was not named after him, despite his claim – movie fans adored Rooney and respected filmmakers idolized his sizeable gifts, which were sometimes likened to genius.
Literally born in a trunk in Brooklyn, Rooney, whose original name was Joe Yule Jr., was a toddler in his parents' stage act before making his screen debut, playing a little person, when he was 6. After his parents' marriage broke up, his mother took him to Hollywood and got him cast in the role of Mickey McGuire in a series of 78 short films that led to his being signed to MGM at age 14.
At 17, he first played Andy Hardy, the all-American boy next door, in what would ultimately become a 15-movie series. These family dramas, mostly about Andy's dating problems, became so popular that Rooney was propelled to the top of the national box-office chart. He was also frequently paired with the studio's singing powerhouse Judy Garland, and the two were not only America's sweethearts – and the screen's first teen idols – but beloved by MGM's financiers.
Eight MarriagesOffscreen, Rooney was already far from being the boy next door. Speaking to PEOPLE in 1993, the star discussed his many wives, from his 1942 marriage with Hollywood's long-reigning sex symbol Ava Gardner, to his eighth and final one, to singer-songwriter Jan Chamberlin, whom he wed in 1978. In the process, he had nine children, two stepchildren and four grandchildren.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer / Getty
Gorgeous Gardner, only 19 when they wed, failed to share Rooney's love of golf and ponies. The marriage ended "abruptly," said Rooney. "She just told me she wanted a divorce."
Second wife Betty Jane Rase, Miss Birmingham (Ala.) of 1944, was "totally oblivious to anything going on outside our home." Rooney recalled. "We just weren't compatibly compatible."
Wives No. 4 and No. 5, model Elaine Mahnken and California beauty queen Barbara Ann Thomason (who followed wife No. 3, actress Martha Vickers), apparently presented similar problems: Rooney admitted to cheating on both. In 1965, Thomason began an affair with actor Milos Milosevic. The two were found dead in a murder-suicide in the Rooneys' L.A. house in 1966. "I died when she did," Rooney said. "I am furious at what happened to her."
He rebounded with a 100-day marriage to Thomason's close friend Marge Lane. "I think that was her name, anyway," he said.
"The fact is," Rooney told PEOPLE, "man was not meant to live alone, nor was woman. That's why I persisted and finally found Jan."
Wife No. 7 was Carolyn Hockett, from 1969 to 1975. And though Chamberlin had her hands full with Rooney, he said this final marriage worked because she let him think he was the boss – though in 2011, when her husband testified before Congress about elder abuse in this country, Jan Rooney said Mickey was not an abused elder, as he claimed.
A Special OscarWhen the studio system collapsed after World War II, Rooney still managed to land star roles, although by the mid-'50s, following a stab he took at TV, these dwindled to character parts.
After a decade-long career slump, during which he swore off liquor and became a born-again Christian, Rooney received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for 1979's The Black Stallion – at the same time he was wowing Broadway audiences with the burlesque show Sugar Babies with another MGM veteran, tap dancer Ann Miller.
In 1981, Rooney won an Emmy for playing a mentally challenged man in the TV movie Bill, and in 1983 the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences awarded him a special Oscar, "In recognition of his 50 years of versatility in a variety of memorable film performances."
Summing up his tumultuous, if colorful, life, Rooney said in his 1991 autobiography Life Is Too Short, "Had I been brighter, the ladies been gentler, the Scotch weaker, the gods kinder, the dice hotter – it might have all ended up in a one-sentence story."
