Newton Connecticut School Shooting: 6-Year-Old Girl Sole Survivor In Sandy Hook Elementary Class Shooting, 15 Classmates Dead

A 6-year-old is the sole survivor from her classroom during the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting after she played dead. The gunman, Adam Lanza, shot his mother before taking her guns to the elementary school for a killing spree claiming 26 before taking his own.

In an interview with ABC News, Pastor Jim Solomon said the girl laid among her 15 other classmates covered in blood until she felt it was safe to leave, "She ran out of the school building covered from head to toe with blood and the first thing she said to her mom was, 'Mommy, I'm OK but all my friends are dead."

Her quick decision truly shows her wisdom and ultimately saved her life. The Daily mail reported that she was the first person to run out of the school building, "Somehow in that moment, by God's grace, [she] was able to act as she was already deceased." Pastor Solomon added, "What did she see in there? Well, she saw someone who she felt was angry and somebody who she felt was mad. "He continued, "How at 6 and a half years old can you be that smart, that brave? I think it's impossible outside of divine intervention. She has wisdom beyond her years."

The child's mother truly is grateful for having her daughter with her, but still is going through the mourning process for her many friends that lost their children, "The mom told me, and I thought this was very insightful, that she was suffering from what she felt was survivor's guilt because so many of her friends no longer have their children but [her mom] has hers," the pastor said.
