Four student survivors of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut ten years ago spoke out publicly for the first time — tellingABC News’ This Week about how the school shooting in Uvalde last month has sparked new feelings of anxiety, sadness, and anger.

““I couldn’t handle it,” one student, Nicole, told ABC’s Martha Raddatz. “You hear about other shootings and it breaks you. But the fact that it was the exact same thing completely re-triggered me and my anxiety.”
