6-year-old Newtown Victim Shot 11 Times Has Open Coffin Funeral


Warning: While I haven't included them here, there are very graphic descriptions of what bullets did to this little boy in this article.
Noah Pozner, 6, was one of the 20 child victims in the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14. All the dead were shot between three and 11 times. Tiny Noah took 11 bullets. His mother, Veronique, insisted on an open coffin, Naomi Zeveloff reported in the Jewish Daily Forward.
