Mourners file into Honan Funeral Home to remember 6-year-old Jack Pinto, one of the 26 victims from the Sandy Hook
NEWTOWN, Conn. - The families and friends of two little boys killed in the Sandy Hook school shootings poured into funeral homes Monday as the first of the massacre's victims were laid to rest.
Jack Pinto and Noah Ponzer, both age 6, were remembered at separate services. Both boys were killed in a mass shooting Friday at the school, one of the worst in U.S. history. 26 people died, including 20 children.
On Main Street in Newtown, mourners strolled somberly in a cold drizzle to Honan Funeral Home to remember Jack. An obituary published over the weekend called him "an incredibly loving and vivacious young boy."
Classmates and sports teammates were among those who came to pay their respects. Members of his wresting team wore their club T-shirts and letter jackets.
On a sidewalk, a father knelt down to comfort his son who was wiping tears with his shirt sleeve before entering the service.
