And hear. Reporter it may be an ancient instrument, with a heavenly sound. But in modern day atlanta, jarnl, the harp is about much much more. It is about opportunity.

How could this have happened . And what can be done . Here is martha tischner. Caller is indicating that she thinks someone is shooting in the building. Reporter somehow the idea that little children had been shot made it worse. We heard a lot more than, the ambulance came, then the policemen told us to run out of the building and go to the fire department. Reporter Elementary Schools are supposed to be safe places. So how could 20yearold adam lanza have entered this one in newtown, connecticut on friday morning and killed 26 people, and then himself . And who could comprehend the horror of being summoned to a massacre by text message or robo call. Then being told your child is dead. She is an incredible person. And im so blessed to be her dad. Reporter Robbie Parkers daughter emily was one of the 20 dead children. Now they are no longer anybodys children, everybodys children. We know their names. Eight boys, 12 girls, all first graders. And we know that the principal used to dress up in costumes to make her students smile. And the teacher, victoria soto died shellering her class. The details are starting to emerge about adam lanza and his mother nancy. Ma that lanza is his aunt. I know she had issues with school, she wound up home schooling him, she battled with the school district, in what kaft kpim im not 100 certain, if it was behavior, learning disabilities i dont know, but he was a pretty boy, smart. Reporter smart but troubled, weve heard that before and weve watched before as the story plays out in slow motion, like some endless tv police procedural. As a country we have been through this too many times. Reporter this time with the president playing his part. Were going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics. Reporter but what . When . Exactly the same thing has been said every time its happened. The shootings havent stopped, and politics has always gotten in the way. Will newtown be any different . Its already been ranked the second worst School Shooting in american history. Virginia tech in 2007 was the worst, 32 people died there. At Columbine High School in 1999, 13 people were killed, another two dozen wounded. But since when have School Shootings had their own grisly greatest hits list . What we see is patterns of one of these incidents inspiring if you will, disturbed people who are already thinking about doing Something Like that, to do copy cat incidents or to enhance their own incident to make it worse. Reporter this even has a name. The wurther effect, according to the former f. B. I. Spokesman and now a Senior Correspondent for cbs news. How do we stop it, can we stop it . Well, theres a series of chicken and egg questions there. Is it the security of the physical premises, is it the gun laws, is it us . Reporter adam lanzas mother weve learneds with a gun enthusiast, she owned the guns her son used to kill her and the rest of the newtown victims. Will this latest incident change any mind about gun control . Probably not. According to a Pugh ResearchCenter Survey before and after the aurora, colorado theater shootings in july, attitudes remained virtually unchanged. A gallup poll last year showed that support for a ban on handguns has actually gone down, dramatically over the last 50 years, to a record low of 26 . Now listen to this f. B. I. Statistic. It was this past black friday, the shopping day after thanksgiving when we hit the alltime record in history for gun sales. Over that threeday period, they sold 283,000 guns in the United States. Reporter and on thursday, the day before newtown, the Michigan StateLegislature Passed a bill that will allow concealed weapons in, among other places, schools. The governor is Still Deciding whether to sign it. Are we headed toward an environment in this country where we have for the rest kindergarten . We dont need to train kindergarteners to throw pencils and back packs at armed intruders and to have a swat team in and a metal detector at every door. Reporter kenneth trump is president of National School safety and Security Services in cleveland. Parents want to know two things. Number one, what steps did you have in place to prevent an incident, and how well prepared were you to respond when a crisis occurs. Many incidents can and have been prevented in school violence. And weve gotten a lot better since columbine. Unfortunately there will still be those that slip through the cracks. The front glass has been broken and theyre unsure why. Reporter adam lanza, it turns out, broke into sandy hook elementary school. What will become of the terrified children who ran from the school . And the families of the dead. For some, not all, the trauma theyve experienced could have lasting physical, not just emotional effects. Theres a couple of studies right now looking at i. Q. Where kids with trauma have lower i. Q. Than those who dont. Reporter dr. Glen sax is chairman of child and adolescent psychiatry at New York University land gon medical center, and an experiment on childhood trauma. Its related in a strong way to problems with depression, suicide, obesity, even some cancer rates, heart disease. And thats why theres so much attention going into helping people who have experienced trauma. Reporter already, the inevitable shrines have appeared. The vigils have begun. Newtown is wearing its broken heart on its sleeve. But weve seen this before, too. If only grieving in public could fix things, could end the killings. But in the end, hugs are not enough. Osgood just ahead, none of the above. [ female announcer ] now deliciousness can happen at almost anytime. Thanks to new jif chocolate flavored hazelnut spread. Now anytime of the day can be delicious time. Choosy moms choose jif. Osgood the words, in god we trust, can be found on all our currency, a reflection of the importance of religion in american lives. At least the lives of many of us, but not all of us. Our sunday morning cover story is reported now by lee cowan. Reporter its not just in newtown, connecticut, but in churches and synagogues and any other building of faith, the question why is being asked over and over this morning. In times of both heart ache and happiness, we turn to our faith for guidance and comfort. But increasingly how we think about our faith is changing. According to a new study by the pugh forum on religion and public life, the nations spiritual landscape may be becoming a little less religious. Some 45 Million People, thats one fifth of the u. S. Adult population, now say they belong to no church in particular. 6 of them are either atheist or agnostic. Theres a yerng to find like minded people, so for people to have a conversation thats not taboo. Reporter we met him last month. Hes the president of an Atheist Group in the bible belt, oklahoma city. Were not antireligious, but were pro secular. Reporter in the past three members membership has jumped from 300 members to well over 1,000. I do think it getting better. Reporter a College Professor is one of them, she says the public mood on atheist is changing even here. There are still people who are marching in the parade at halloween yelling out youre going to hell and stuff like that. But there were more people who werent. And i think thats going to keep going, i think thats the trend. Reporter researchers call them the nones, those who check the none box when asked to describe their religious affiliation, and theyve doubled since 1990. Were not necessarily becoming more secular, are we . Maybe a little bit. Reporter kerry funk is the senior researchers on that study and says its a complicated question, because being unaffiliated isnt necessarily the same as not having faith. 68 of the unaffiliated say they brief in god or a universal spirit. More than a third describe themselves as spiritual people, but not religious people. Reporter and a good portion of them still say they pray . A good portion pray at least daily. Reporter so if its not god or the thought of a higher power thats turning people off, just what is . The Study Suggests that its organized religion, with respondents overwhelmingly saying Many Organizations are too focused on money, power and politics. Protestants have suffered the greatest decline. They now account for just 48 of religious adults, making it the first time in history that the United States doesnt have a protestant majority. Every time e i walk in here i cannot believe this place is this large. Over 4,000 people. Reporter evangelical churches arent immune either. The megachurches, once bursting at the seems are a little less megathen they used to be. Were seeing Church Attendance being much more inconsistent than ive ever seen it in my life. Reporter ed young is the Senior Pastor of the Fellowship Church in dallas. The bible talks a lot about the enjoyment of sex. Report hes hardly conventional, even preaching a sermon with his wife while sitting on a double bed. Its his attempt not at a gimmick, he says, but to reach those who these days find organized religion at its best irrelevant and worst, i dont think we have been vulnerable enough, i dont think we have been real enough about issues and about life. You have to realize that the church is pretty much one generation away from extinction. Reporter indeed its the young, one out of every three persons survey under the age of 30 say they dont link themselves with any organized religion. Compare that with the greatest generation, where only one in 20 claim to know claimed to religious home. Were in a post denomination al phase in many ways in the United States. So religion is very diverse and clear differences between the buddhists and mormons. Reporter Charles Kimball is the director of religious studies at the university of oklahoma. While he says most his students still respect religious organizations as a power to do good in the world, its often their stand on social issues, especially abortion and gay rights, that he feels are driving the young away. The vast majority of students, even people coming out of pretty traditional religious background, dont see these as a big deal, they dont get whats the issue here. They dont understand it. In my experience a lot of my friends have become nuns. Reporter we gathered a few of his students together. All say they believe in god but agree that organized religion has largely failed to adapt to a changing culture. She grew up a conservative christian. I dont understand like how a loving god can send people to hell. Im pretty sure if i disobeyed my parents they would not throw me in the fireplace. I go to a church in mormon. Reporter he was raised methodist and still goes to church but only about once a month. Because theres so much like bureaucracy and rules and things that a church has to do that dont necessarily fit with the beliefs or the tenets that they preach. Reporter Martha Fulton grew up baptist, went to Catholic Schools and for the moment attends a methodist church. While i wouldnt say that i am really strongly affiliated with a church, i do feel that i get something out of it and its sort of like when a person says that theyre single and looking rather than single and not ever hoping to find anything else. Reporter there are plenty of alternatives for those looking to worship in a more individual way. One of the most popular Holiday Services in new york city this time of year is a revival of the ancient solstice rituals. At the cathedral of st. John the divine. Paul winner leads that celebration. The journey through the longest night is really intended to be symbolic of the catharsis, coming through the dark night of the soul. Reporter and for those in newtown, connecticut, no night has ever been darker. Dark times, like so many of our friends in connecticut are having now, very hard to understand how were going to reconcile that, how well come out the other side of it. But somewhere down deep we hope that well have the optimism that we will overcome. Reporter what is hope and optimism to some is faith and answered prayers to others.

And that was the day helen bee tricks potter First Published the tale of peter rabbit. Born in london in 1866, potter developed a passion for nature during family outings in the english country side. She would bring home an assortment of pets including rabbits, mice, birds, squirrels, even rats. And by age 14 she was sketching and even making up stories about them. But it was a series of letters she wrote to the children of her governess that would ensure bee tricks potter a place in bedtime story history. My rabbit peter is so lazy he lies before the fire in a box with a little rug, she wrote in 1895.

And peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to mr. Mcgregors garden. Reporter potter expressed surprise at the ongoing appeal of her characters. She wrote, i never quite understood the secret of peters perennial charm. The secret perhaps can be found in those earlier letters. Here are some rabbits thering snowballs, father wrote, what child could resist that, or a frog fishing or a mouse in bed with a cold. Potter died in december 1943. Peter rabbit will forever be sneaking into farmer mcgregors garden in search of a midday snack. Next, first string. ,,,,,, osgood this is Laura Sherman playing her guilded harp.

Reporter for 13yearold kim walker and her fellow members of atlantas urban youth harp ensemble, this 47stringed instrument with its heavenly sound transports them from the challenges of urban life to the satisfaction of mastering this most difficult of instruments. Is playing the harp cool at all . Yes. Reporter it is, she says, with great passion, it is. Why is it cool to play the harp . Because there are not a lot of kids that play the harp. You have your trumpets and your flautists and the run of the mill percussionists, but who can say oh i play the harp. Reporter i would think in an urban environment, harp is a hard sell. Yeah, i kind of thought that at first, but when i walked in there were kids just loving it. Reporter carolyn lund is the artistic director and fulltime harp instructor for the program. What draws people to it is that its just so rare and so unique. And these kids want to make a name for themselves so, they come and try their hand at it.

Donovan howard has been playing the harp for three years and says the ensemble is shaking up the perception of the typical harpist. Whats the reaction when you walk in for an audition .

Reporter for some, the harp has changed lives this pro found ways. Meet desmond johnson, who she calls one of her miracle children. I met desmond here at this school, and he will walk by the harp room and couldnt walk out without coming in to sit down and play the harp. Reporter so this is the neighborhood you grew up in . Yes, sir. Reporter raised by his grandmother, johnson admits he wasnt the best academically, and harp class was initially a hard sell. When i got in, it was, you know, im a young man, im not really interested in playing the harp because its kind of girly so, when i first saw it you didnt want anything to do with it. Reporter but the harp won him over. What has the harp done for you, do you think . Its responsible for me going to college.

Reporter alas chriss life is so normal that he recently felt compelled to write a comic unauthorized autobiography. Instead of bobble yot, he claims his dad is actor sam elliott, because son of sam sounds funier. But the truth is chris grew up behind the scene of his real dads radio show. He would set me in front of the sound effect machine and they, there were all these sort sound effects. Like fight sounds, number one. Fight sounds number five.

Reporter three generations of laughter. Reporter three generations of laughter. Osgood ahead, osgood it happened this week, the passing of two men instrumental in changing our lives in very different ways. Ravi shankar, the man George Harrison called the father of world music, died tuesday in san diego at age 92. Known for introducing the sitaar to western audiences, he was born in 1920 in northern india, as a young man he changed his name to ravi, meaning son, and devoted his life to music. In the 1960s he caught the ear of George Harrison, who was looking into broadening his sound and his mind. I never thought our meeting would cause such an explosion. Reporter the beetle became his most famous disciple. Ravi shankar appeared in woodstock in 19 1k369 teamed up again with harrison in 1971 to organize the concert for bangladesh at Madison Square garden, one of the first megastar rock benefits to raise money for famine relief. Off stage his personal life was complicated. Married twice, shankar also had a longterm relationship with concert promoter sue jones, who in 1979 gave birth to their daughter, put spell grammy winning singer nora jones. Shankar played little role in their daughters upbringing and they remained distant until the 90s. He too was part of the sound track of our lives, he was responsible for changing this to this, as coinventor of the bar code. Born in Atlantic City in 1921, woodland learned morse code as a boy scout. Years later in Engineering School he and a classmate Bernard Silver worked to devise a graphic version of the code. One that could be used to track product information. The result was this. A sort of bulls eye with lines of varying widths, and in 1952 they pat ented what they called a classifying apparatus and method. Ahead of out time, the idea languished and they sold the patent to philco for 15,000, all they ever made for their invention. Wood land went onto work for ibm where in the early 1970s a colleague named george lowerer designed the retack language bar code we know today. Last year wood lands daughter was there for his induction into the inventors hall of fame, he died last sunday at the age of 91. But his genius lives on, every time you hear this, take a moment to thank Norman Joseph woodland, for your speedy check out. Coming up, once again. ,,,,, osgood in the aftermath of fridays shootings in newtown, connecticut we can now add the name adam lanza to the gallery of gunman whose names have begun to enter our collective memories. Bob orr tells us the latest on the investigation into who he was and what may have motivated the terrible murder spree. Reporter investigators are still trying to understand how a reclusive young man could take three semiautomatic weapons to a school and carry out such a heinous killing spree. Gunman adam lanza, apparently left behind no explanation. Police have found no journals or detailed notes outlining his plans. Police lieutenant paul advance said police have found some clues in the school and lanzas home. Did produce some very, a very good evidence in this investigation that our investigators will be able to use and hopefully painting the complete picture as to how and more importantly why this occurred. Reporter sources say investigators have recovered two badly damaged computers from the home. It seems they had been purposely smashed, but forensic specialists are trying to retrieve potentially revealing files. Police already know lanza used guns he took from his mothers home, after he shot her in the face, killing her as she slept. Nancy lanza was an avid gun collector, who had legally purchased and registered the weapons. Landscaper dan holmes knew nancy lanza for five years. She had a gun collection, she was a real gun enthusiast, she would go target practicing. Reporter what happened at the school required no real marksmanship. Investigators say lanza forced his way into the building, carrying a 223 semiautomatic Assault Rifle in his hands, he also had two semiautomatic pistols in the pockets of his cargo pants. As lanza headed for two classrooms, Sources Say Police officers began closing in. As they approached officers heard a volley of shots, in all 20 children and six adult School Staffers were killed. Each had been hit with multiple rounds. Connecticuts chief medical examiner, dr. Wayne carver, said it the worst carnage hes seen in his 31year career. The victims i had range from three to eleven wounds, and i only saw two of them with close range shooting. Reporter the children were first graders, 12 girls and eight boys. The spree ended when lanza used one of the handguns to take his own life. Last night the gunmans father peter lanza offered con doll endss. In a statement condolences.

For more than a decade, led zep were the dark gods of rock, but in 1980 when grouper john bonham died after consuming 40 shots of vodka in 24 hours, it all ended unexpectedly. There must have been an incredibly difficult decision. No, it was an easy decision. It was an incredibly difficult time. But i couldnt imagine it without him. Reporter the ban members went their separate ways. I never felt so out of place and vulnerable and out of time and all that stuff. It was nerve wracking. Reporter led zeppelin would we unite publicly only twice before 2007, and with disappointing results. So when the concert to honor the late head of Atlantic Records was planned, plant worried about recapturing led zeppelins old magic. Did you have to work pretty hard to put yourself back there . I knew i couldnt go back there, but i had to be comfortable with where i met it. Reporter and where was that . It was just left of extreme fear. And trepidation. Reporter why .

Carolyn mccarthy is a suburban new yorker whose husband was killed and her son rund wounded in a random shooting on the Long Island Railroad in december 1993, not long after she ran for congress and won. She shares some thought now on fridays tragedy in newtown, connecticut. Its hard in words alone to do justice for the innocent Young Children who died the other day. Words alone arent enough to make sure that there isnt another shooting like that in connecticut. Thats why i hope that we as a nation can come together and take action to prevent these types of tragedies in the future. Congress where i work can be a pretty divided place. I often like to remind my colleagues on both sides of the ail of the things that unite us. And there are many. We love our country. We support our constitution. We love our children. We all care about our future, and our childrens future. And its on these shared values that i think we must unite, as americans to make sure that innocent lives arent cut down before their time, because of the easy access to guns by the wrong people. Reporter terrified passengers say the lone gunman didnt say a word as he opened fire on the commuter train. It hard for me to understand why somebody would do Something Like that. As a mother and as someone whose family has changed forever by an act of gun violence, i know all too well what the families in connecticut are going through right now. On friday parents went home to presents in the class it, that they will never be able to give. Some of those homes there will be no little feet running down the stairs. And tearing open boxes under the tree on christmas day. There will be one less Little League tryout, one Less High School prom. One less college graduation. One less wedding. We owe it to those families and to our own children to do something about our nations problem with gun violence. The Second Amendment is the law of the land. Its an american right to own a gun. But its also our responsibility to protect Public Health and enact reasonable safety restrictions, like we do with cars or food or medicine, because too many of us are dying from gun violence every day. No parent should have to send their child to school and wonder if there will be a mass shooting there that day. Lets come together and get this right. For our childrens sake.
