After a nearly year-long open-records fight, a prosecutor relented on his opposition to the Associated Press's request to get copies of the 911 calls made as Adam Lanza shot schoolchildren and school professionals within 11 minutes of entering Sandy Hook Elementary School. The calls were released today, according to the AP.
Teresa Rousseau, whose daughter Lauren was among the six educators killed and an editor at the Danbury News-Times, said "there was no need to play the tapes on the radio or television," the AP said. '"I think there's a big difference between secrecy and privacy," she said. "We have these laws so government isn't secret, not so we're invading victims' privacy,'" the AP also reported.
