Connecticut school shooting: first funerals held for massacre victims On Monday at 1pm local time, the boy's family gathered at the Abraham L. Green & Son Funeral Home in Fairfield, Connecticut, for the private service and his burial took place shortly at a nearby cemetery. Meanwhile at the same time, the family of Jack Pinto, six, also came together for his funeral at the Newtown Village Cemetery. The little boy was such a huge fan of the American football team the New York Giants, and their player Victor Cruz, that the family said they were contemplating burying the child in the Number 80 jersey worn by Mr Cruz. In tribute to the family, the player said on Monday: "We see the effect we have on kids, and it's humbling. It's a real honour to be a role model. For now, all we want to do is comfort the family. We'll think about other things we can do to help in the long term. The funerals came as authorities warned that Sandy Hook Elementary School, the scene of massacre, would remain closed "indefinitely." Veronika Pozner (R), mother of Noah Pozner, arrives for her son's funeral Police said the premises would stay shut for "as long as is needed for investigatory purposes," and officials were unable to confirm if, due to the inevitable memories of the carnage last Friday, it would ever reopen. Newtown police Lieutenant George Sinko admitted he "would find it very difficult" for young children to return to the same site where so many pupils had died. But he added that the community was adamant that the victims should stay together. We want to keep these kids together. They need to support each other," he said. Police investigating the shooting were still unable to offer any motive for the attack on Monday, and said no letters or diaries shedding light on the incident had been found. The two adults injured in the school shooting would be critical to the investigation, police said on Monday night. Mourners at the funeral of Jack Pinto Police Lieut. Paul Vance told a news conference that the pair remained in hospital and were recovering from gunshot wounds. He said investigators would "speak with them when it's medically appropriate and they will shed a great deal of light on the facts and circumstances of this tragic investigation." Officers are working 24 hours a day on the case and are planning to interview many witnesses. They have vowed to analyse all evidence, including every single round of ammunition fired. Communities in the state remained on edge and yesterday afternoon schools in nearby Ridgefield were temporarily closed after a suspicious person, possibly carrying a weapon, was seen near a local train station. Further funerals are expected to take place on Tuesday. The funeral of Dawn Hochsprung, the head teacher at the school who died trying to protect her students, is expected to take place on Wednesday.
