Newtown parents learn comforting details about son's death
On Monday, after putting themselves "in a little cocoon," as she put it, Hockley decided it was time to tell the world about Dylan.
"He was autistic," she says, "but incredibly empathetic."
"He just wanted to have fun."
...
Just down the street lived Adam Lanza, 20. Authorities said Lanza opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary before taking his own life. They said he killed his mother, Nancy, before the school shooting.
Asked whether they knew the Lanzas, Nicole Hockley stiffened and said no.
But they say the pain has made it impossible to even drive past the Lanza home. So they are moving elsewhere in the community.
"You can't drive up your driveway every day and see the house of a person who took your son's life and who brought so much pain to so many people," Nicole said. "We are leaving that house. We will stay in Newtown, but that's just one thing too much. I can't do that every day."
