Bay Ridge leaders look at mental health-gun connection in wake of Sandy Hook
The topic of conversation at the monthly meeting of Community Board 10 Monday night was probably echoed in town halls, around kitchen tables, and in offices all across the country as the nation tries to come to grips with the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Everyone at the meeting wondered aloud how something so shocking could have happened, how a lone gunman could have shot 20 innocent first graders to death, along with six adults.
Ideas were also exchanged at the community board meeting on how to prevent something similar from happening in the future.
