The Sandy Hook Advisory Commission will begin its grim work Thursday with an update on the police investigation into the Newtown, Conn. school massacre and presentations on the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings.
According to the Hartford Courant, 16 experts, appointed by Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy, will convene for the first of a series of meetings to review the Dec. 14 mass killing last year and propose improvements to current policies related to student safety, gun violence, and mental health.
On Dec. 14, a lone gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown and opened fire with a semi-automatic rifle, killing 20 children and six adults before taking his own life. Only the 2007 school shooting at Virginia Tech, where 32 students and staff members were killed, resulted in a greater loss of life caused by a single shooter.
The panel's first witness will be Danbury Assistant State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky, who will give one of the few official statements about the police investigation.
The Courant reported that former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, who was Denver district attorney at the time of the 1999 Columbine attack and a member of the Columbine Review Commission, will also speak. He will be joined by the University of Virginia's Richard Bonnie, a consultant to the Virginia Tech Review Panel and chairman of the Virginia Commission on Mental Health Law Reform.
The meeting, to be broadcast live on the Connecticut Network, coincides with the introduction of federal gun control legislation in Washington.
Members of the Connecticut delegation, along with congressional leaders, will propose banning assault weapons and ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds.
"There is a fight coming,'' Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat, told the Courant.

STAMFORD — A 46-year-old Newtown man who worked behind the scenes on numerous blockbuster films was killed in a head-on accident on the Merritt Parkway Friday evening.
I stopped reading the basic article when I found out that one of their conclusions will be banning assault weapons and magazines with more than 10 rounds. Excuse me, if they are truly just beginning their investigation of what actually happened and how to prevent it how can they have reached any conclusions yet?
Oh, excuse me, I did and illegal and immoral act - I actually thought about an issue instead of responding with an emotional reaction. How Neanderthal of me!
If the ‘9/11 Commission’, ‘TWA 800’, and the ‘Warren Report (JFK)’ is any indication, don’t waste your time.

'Crisis actor' controversy: http://www.wptv.com/dpp/news/world/crisis-actors-professor-says-in-interviews-that-crisis-actors-may-have-sandy-hook-involvement
I want to read the report these tools get from Gene Rosen.
For those claiming that the whole thing is a hoax or that the police are lying because there is no video of the broken glass window by the front door, please check 0:24 on this CNN news footage.
It's right there -- clear news footage of the broken glass window right by the front door -- just as reported.
Too many contradictions coming from media and interviews in that area.
Gene Rosen is a trip.
I don’t believe his story for a minute.
What bus driver is going to leave a group of kids in his yard and take off. Then he takes them inside to play instead of calling cops. Then takes them to the firehouse
It’s ridiculous.
I think he is a nut job.
If his story is true the school needs to reprimand the bus driver along with St Rose of Lima reprimanding the Monsignor for taking off before his kids were known to be safe when the lockdown happened.
We’ve already found that out, a couple days after the shooting, in fact.
This is a 30 min. video, but there’s some stuff in here that makes you go “WTF?”
<><><><><
Yup. That was my reaction when I watched this video a few days ago.
As in WTF is wrong with the folks who made this video.
Panel? I think this panel is to give Hollywood a template of unfactual facts for their TV movie.
Anecdotes (stories) about small numbers of victims have been used to evoke emotional responses and pass some of the most anti-constitutional, anti-family and anti-American legislation of the recent past. That dishonest and wrongful tactic—often used by feminists for decades to destroy traditional family structure—will provoke negative responses and deserved consequences for the foreseeable future.
Why are you posting a video from over a month ago that was repudiated by its source within the day? Trying to mislead people?
Supposedly the newly installed system wasnt working that day.
Isn’t that convenient.
Here is an example. The internet predicted Hurricane Sandy weeks before it happened. They even have video of it posted to youtube before it happened! The government must have a secret time machine!:
“First I’ve learned of ‘Crisis Actors’, hmmmm...”
Of course it’s the first time you heard of it, because they only exist in the imaginations of Sandy Hook conspiracy mongers.
I don’t think that info is as widespread as we would like. Many still think it was a rifle. This may help convince some that are incorrect in their thinking.
Another tactic heavily used in the presser was “The gun lobby will say....” and then declaring themselves to be the only reliable source of truth.
What makes you say that??? What makes you think that they don't have video tape of the shooting??? Did they say so???
