Excerpt:

Pete Kearney, 47, lit a candle at a vigil near the fire station next to Sandy Hook Elementary School. A father of two teenagers and a 22-year-old, tears streamed down his face as he walked away from the site late Saturday. Kearney said he had read out loud the names of every victim of Friday's school massacre to his 17-year-old son to take in the loss to the community. “It just felt never-ending … overpowering, overwhelming,” said Kearney, a golf course greenskeeper whose children live with him. “It felt real before that, but then, you know, you see the ages and the names … it's just incredible, so sad. I don't think I have the words.
