Dylan Christopher Jack Hockley was six and in first grade at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. Born in Winchester, England, he and his family had moved to Connecticut two years earlier and chosen the Sandy Hook community for its elementary school. Dylan had special needs and was accompanied that morning by his special education teacher, Anne Marie Murphy.

On that morning an assailant forced his way into the school with a semiautomatic rifle and entered Dylan’s classroom. Ms. Murphy wrapped Dylan in her arms in an effort to protect him; first responders later found them together. Dylan was one of 20 children and six educators killed that day. The investigation concluded the shooter acted alone after fatally shooting his mother earlier that morning and then taking his own life at the school, so no arrests were made.

If anyone knew Dylan, his classroom, or Ms. Murphy and can share memories or information, please contribute.
