Allie Young (l) and Stephanie Davies (r)
The AP photo above is of two young women — best friends — who were in that dark movie theater in Century 16, Aurora, Colorado, on July 20, 2012. Stephanie Davies, 21, had saved 19-year-old Allie Young’s life by applying pressure to Young’s gushing neck wound and helping her to safety. (Source)
There are other photos and accounts of the Aurora wounded, including a follow-up by the Denver Post half a year later, of Caleb Medley, a 23-year-old aspiring comedian who suffered a gunshot wound to the head. Medley was discharged from the University of Colorado Hospital on Sept. 12 and moved to an extended care facility in Denver. On Jan. 23, 2013, Caleb left the rehabilitation center and returned home.
For that matter, three days after the shooting, the media made much of Dark Knight actor Christian Bale visiting the hospital where many of the wounded were being treated. One of the wounded, Carey Rottman, posted on Facebook this photo of himself with Bale at his bedside:
Have you seen any photos or interviews with those wounded in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting massacre?
No?
Why is that?
Not only have I not seen even one media interview or video of Sandy Hook wounded, I can’t even figure out exactly how many and who were wounded. Or how many and who are still hospitalized or had returned home.
According to Wikipedia, at approximately 10:00 a.m. on December 14, 2012, “Danbury Hospital scrambled extra medical personnel in expectation of having to treat numerous victims. Three wounded patients were evacuated to the hospital, where two children were later declared dead. The other was an unidentified adult.”
According to CBS New York, Dec. 14, 2013, “State Police Lt. Paul Vance said 18 children and six adults, including the school’s principal, Dawn Hochsprung, were pronounced dead at that scene. Two other children later died at the hospital. One other person was injured, Vance said. […] Authorities said there was one survivor, teacher Nancy Hammond, who they hope will be helpful to the investigation.”
CBS New York posted the photo below as that of Nancy Hammond (credit: personal photo):
But according to Wikipedia, it was a “Natalie Hammond, lead teacher in the [staff] meeting room,” who was wounded. Hammond had “pressed her body against the door to keep it closed. Lanza shot Hammond through the door, in her leg and arm. She was later treated at Danbury Hospital.”
Furthermore, “The police reported that a second adult was wounded in the attack, but that individual was not publicly identified.”
Newstimes.com also identifies the wounded teacher as Natalie Hammond: “Hammond was shot in the foot, leg and hand, but managed to crawl to safety behind a door. Lanza then went down the hall to two classrooms, where he killed 20 children and four teachers. Ten minutes later, Lanza fired a bullet into his own head.”
Hammond’s best friend of 22 years is Anika Sonski. Although Sonski had talked with Hammond after the shooting, she said she knows only the barest details of what occurred. “To protect Hammond’s privacy and that of her family,” Sonski will not talk about her wounded friend’s condition, prognosis or where she was being treated. Sonski said Hammond’s “family is in a self-imposed seclusion due to the barrage of media that has surrounded them.”
There you have it:
- Three (or four) Sandy Hook wounded were taken to hospitals.
- Two of the wounded were children, but they died. Names unknown.
- One of the wounded survived — an adult school teacher named Nancy or Natalie Hammond. Age unknown; her whereabouts unknown. I can find no media interview with her.
- According to one account, a second adult was wounded. Name, age, sex, occupation, whereabouts unknown.
The Sandy Hook wounded are important percipient witnesses to the shooting. Their testimonies can verify whether there was only one gunman or two or more; and whether Adam Lanza was the (or a) shooter.
But the media are not in the least interested in finding and speaking with the wounded, although it would be newsworthy and riveting.
By order of a Connecticut State Superior Court judge, law enforcement’s lips are sealed — for 90 days, until late March 2013. By that time, the already disinterested media will be even less likely to report on what the police know and finally can reveal.
And that may precisely be what government and the media are counting on.

Thank you Dr. Eowyn for this insightful post! I have said previously in other comments, why the silence from the date of the alleged incident to the present time? Why have we heard nothing? It is the wounded we should hear from, the percipient witnesses? Nothing, nothing. And frankly, it also seems strange to me that in such an incident, more people were not wounded given Lanza’s alleged multiple shooting.
Interesting…
Great question!
Not to change the subject but I’m, still looking for those 30 or so Benghazi survivors…Do we know where they are yet? Wouldn’t they be a wealth of information..Last I heard even the congressmen that were investigating couldn’t find em…Let us know if you hear from survivors of either case.
Lotta holes…Hmmmm
Well, thanks again for doing so much incredible detective work here Eowyn. Still the best reporting on SH bar none!
It just gets curiouser and curiouser, indeed.
It drives me crazy that the media covered this story night and day for a week,then dropped it like a hot potato. No follow up stories at all!! How long did we hear about Katrina? Months!!!!!
Dr. Eowyn – It pleases me that it appears you are beginning to question the “accepted” politically correct story of the [supposed] Sandy Hook shooting massacre. May I encourage you to continue to question. I have, as I authored my 6th web article concerning the “event:” “It’s okay to question the alleged Sandy Hook shooting massacre and call it a hoax::” https://moralmatters.org/2013/02/06/its-okay-to-question-the-alleged-sandy-hook-shooting-massacre-and-call-it-a-hoax/ Now, granted, you may not go as far as suggesting that the event was [is] a hoax. But, that’s okay; as long as you keep an open mind and not be one of the millions who (only) believe… Read more »

Reblogged this on cedarridge2007.
Kudos, Dr. Eowyn, for another intriguing post. I just finished reading thelittlebrother’s link, and feel even MORE confused. Something is terribly wrong on ALL fronts — the event (as spun by the media), the investigation, the victims, the shooter(s) … nothing adds up as it should.
We have heard from no witnesses, not One. Every Single Person who survived was cowering behind a door, etc. (???) Right. I noticed this from day one. And not one person who was shot survived. How convenient. I don’t care who Adam was or what was or was not wrong with him. You’d have to be the all-time ice-cold hit man (inhuman AND incredibly skilled) to take out so many people and make sure every one of them was dead (and how would you know? people survive multiple gunshots, including to the head, every day; I work in medicine, I… Read more »
Something’s not adding up…
In order to have wounded in the hospital , they must have been wounded to begin with . As far as the theater shooting goes having an “ACTOR ” at somebody’s bedside should make everybody go HMMMMMMMMMMMM. Just another fraud perpetrated upon the sheeple . ………………Tug on them heartstrings , make ’em cry and don’t let a good crisis go to waste !!!!!!!!!!
This entire event seems rather ” movie like”. As I have gone through footage and images of this tragedy a couple things pop out at me. The school had 600 kids, 70 teachers and staff approx. , so with all these people gathering at fire house with relatives, responders, media, neighbors etc. ,there should be around 2000 people. What seems odd to me is that of 2000 people, Robbie Parker, Soto’s sister and the MacDonalds are prominent in footage and were also the ones doing interviews. It just looks like ” the stars” doing a photo shoot. Also, the active… Read more »
The mainstream news media took particular pains to be sensitive to folks in shock and chaos at SH. Most folks were too traumatized to speak to reporters coherently. Since so much MisInformation was published initially, law enforcement and the courts stepped in to SEAL information published until the investigation is completed. Understand the Ages of these children and that our Government’s job is to Protect children, their privacy and promote well being and potential of every child and SH is a Testimony of the colossal Failure by our Government . Adam Lanza as well as other young shooters were Products… Read more »
Dr. E: I talked to a case worker in CT who strongly believes the case worked and Mobile Crisis team dropped the ball and the Dept. of Mental Health Services is under a gag order in Newtown. Lanza should have public acknoledged 3-6-12 months goals and objectives meetings with case and social workers, mgr, shrink, and all ‘collateral contacts’ i.e. mother-father-anyone who was on a list as a c.c.. This has to be OPENED by a Woodward or a Bernstein
Case workers and managers have to see their clients 2x a week minimum, and they could have had Lanza to a shrink in 2 days. Bad behavior is addressed by a mobile unit w/in 5 hours accord to Dave the case mgr.
In an attempt to answer the simple question: Why are the class sizes for the first graders not matching media reports? I found myself once again going down the rabbit hole… According to this sandy school site [as of Nov. 2012]: https://www.newtown.k12.ct.us/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=yrE601iIboU=&tabid=3295&mid=39347 [The report was uploaded 12/4/2012] According to the records there are five classes of 1st graders (four of nineteen + one of eighteen) another library article also makes note of class sizes: “Just this year two out of the three preschool classrooms moved to SHS thus upping the school’s enrollment. SHS has always been the largest elementary school… Read more »
Some more fact checking helped to clarify a few important points on that mornings activities… Lynn is Carolyn aka Mrs. Monohan, who is the only teacher of the 1st grade to continue her newsletters to the present. From Dec. 7th: “Thank you! Don’t forget – everything is due this coming Monday, Dec. 10th. This will allow enough time for me to make individual kits for the children. Construction is set for Friday morning December 14th at 9:45 in our classroom and should last for about an hour and a half. ” [She was the ginger-bread teacher… ] She is the… Read more »
With all the info. on the table, so to speak, it is now a logical deduction that Miss Rousseau was substituting for Mrs. D’Amato. Just how long Rousseau had been subbing for D’Amato is not clear and thanks to a total absence of class information from that day or before, people are left to guessing for answers. The class pictures are another problem. I call this the stub problem. The initial narrative had the shooting in the kindergarten classes. The class pictures are of the kids from that year not this one. The class photo for Soto does not have… Read more »
The 2nd wounded adult is Deborah Pisani. Her name became possible to deduce when her son, Justin Craparo, signed a public letter to Governor Malloy as “Justin Craparo, son of wounded teacher.” Deborah Pisani appears as a kindergarten educational assistant in a 2010-2011 Sandy Hook School handbook.
So we have Deborah Pisani (who was shot in the foot) and treated at the Bridgeport Hospital, and we’ve got the vice principal Natalie Hammond (who was shot in the leg, arm and foot (and subsequently treated at the Danbury Hospital). Those are the two injured adults?
