NEWTOWN, Conn. -
Today marks another day of mourning in Connecticut.
Families will gather for a third day of funerals for the victims of Friday's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Daniel Barden, 7, will be laid to rest today. So will 27-year-old Victoria Soto, a teacher killed in the massacre.
Some of the other funerals being held today are for 7-year-old Chase Kowalski, 6-year-old Caroline Previdi and 6-year-old Charlotte Bacon.
There were two funerals held yesterday. The town said goodbye to 6-year-old Jessica Rekos and James Mattioli.
The service for James had not yet ended as mourners began arriving at the St. Rose of Lima Church to pay their respects to Jessica and her family.
People from across the country are showing support for the victims of the Connecticut massacre, including those who have experienced similar tragedy.
