Grace Audrey McDonnell was seven years old when she went to Sandy Hook Elementary School on the morning of December 14, 2012. A budding artist who loved painting and the beach, she was born November 4, 2005, to Christopher and Lynn McDonnell and was the younger sister of a brother named Jack. Her parents encouraged her art; one of her paintings, a cerulean and lime-green owl, was shared with the President of the United States.

On December 14, 2012, an assailant forced his way into the school and carried out a shooting that killed Grace, 19 other students and six educators. The attack occurred mainly in two first-grade classrooms and lasted only minutes. Earlier that day the attacker killed his own mother at their home; the attacker then died by a self-inflicted gunshot at the school. Investigators later reported the attacker had significant mental health issues but did not establish a clear motive.

Does anyone who knew Grace or her family have memories to share or information relevant to the case?
