SCRANTON, Pa. — Wednesday, December 14, marks 10 years since the tragedy at an elementary school in Connecticut.
Twenty students and six educators were killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown.
In Scranton, a vigil was held Wednesday evening at Saint Luke's Church in honor of the victims.
Speakers stressed the importance of working together to create access to resources, such as mental health services.
"It's easy to become disheartened, to become complacent, to become just numb because we see so much of this all the time in our news. When we give up, we've lost," said Reverend Rebecca Barnes.
Folks at the event stressed they will continue to push to make resources available for those in need.
