Dawn Briggs was on her way to the Cancun airport on her way back home to Newtown, Connecticut via New York's JFK airport when she got an automated message from the superintendant of schools that there had been a shooting at an unnamed school in Newton and that her children's school was in lockdown. She has two children that are in first and second grade. When she boarded the flight she learned the shooting occurred at Sandy Hook elementary and not her children's school, reported ABC News.
