The father of a six-year-old boy who was killed in the Sandy Hook school massacre has reportedly been heckled by pro-gun activists while testifying at a local hearing on firearm control.
Neil Heslin, whose son Jesse was among the 27 victims of last month’s
massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, was giving an
emotional account of his son’s death when activists apparently interrupted him,
shouting “the second amendment”.
Mr Heslin held a large framed photograph of Jesse as he spoke, saying: “It’s not a good feeling. Not a good feeling looking and your child laying in a casket or looking at your child with a bullet wound in his forehead.”
It was around this point that a handful of people among the 2000 gathered at the packed legislative hearing reportedly began to shout and interrupt Mr Heslin.
