Somber anniversary today, the third anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in newtown, connecticut. Adam lanza killed his mother inside their home, before driving to the school with a semiautomatic rifle. He committed suicide as Police Closed in on the school, but not before he killed 26 people, 20 of them children and six educators. This is the first time students were in school on the actual anniversary, and nbc news is looking at the impact guns are having on children. Since sandy hook, an american child has died every other day by gun violence. Thats 554 children since december of 2012, and nbcs Stephanie Gosk has a special report on kids and guns tonight on nbc nightly news. Thanks for joining us here. I know overall numbers across the country down in terms of gun violence, but since sandy hook youve been digging into the numbers of kids specifically 12 and under and those numbers not so encouraging. Thats right, you know, jim and denise, you would hope those numbers would be in line with trends for adults, as well, around the country, but it turns out they are not. And the total was 554 by our calculation this morning, today that went up to 555. And we looked at deaths, children under the age of 12, we compiled using news reports and publicly available information, and its a conservative number, actually, because there are some gun deaths that arent reported, there are some suicides that arent reported, so we believe that those numbers are even higher than what we found. Stephanie, theres a current political divide, we all know, when it comes to gun control, so are there any solutions to the gun violence against children issue . Well, its interesting. This is, as you know, a vitriolic debate and what the belief is that there is this enormous gulf between both sides of the debate, but the truth is, and we look at this tonight in our piece, is that actually there are issues that americans compromise on, and there is some sort of consensus. For instance, 84 of americans believe that there should be background checks for gun sales, but what weve seen is, essentially, a gridlock in congress, even though 41 states since sandy hook have passed stricter gun regulation. So it does seem these numbers, these kids, these faces, are breaking the gridlock in some fa places. Thank you and we look forward to your report tonight coming up on nbc nightly news. Dont miss it. Thats at 6 30 right after nbc 10 news at 6 00. And coming up here at 5 30, the father of one of sandy hook victims is talking about living through the pain and the positives that have come out of the tragedy. Now your nbc 10 first alert weather with chief meteorologist glenn hurricane schwartz. Well, we have weather records that go back to the 1870s, at least official detailed records and weve been breaking them. This is three days in a row we have beaten a High Temperature record. Todays record was set in 1881, and more records may fall before this month is over. Were tracking some showers through the area tonight, and then we are actually going to get a cold blast. And actually get the temperature below freezing in philadelphia for the first time this season. Its not going to last. 68 degrees right now, the wind is generally out of the south. And as long as we have a south wind its going to stay warm all night tonight. Its in the mid to upper 60s. 68 in philadelphia, 69 in bensalem. 66 in wilmington. Smashed a record today. Some of these records were broken by six, seven, eight degrees, which is unheard of. Three records in a row. Todays official high 70 degrees, we hit 71 yesterday, while the eagles were playing. Then all the way down to 62 tomorrow, but thats still way above average. For the month as a whole, so far, almost halfway through, more than 10 degrees above normal in philadelphia. More than 12 in mount pocono. We are way ahead of any kind of record pace for the month of december so far. With more warm weather ahead, were likely to get it. You can see some of the rain coming into the pocono mountains, little bit heavier now, just about to move in. Little lighter rain in the lehigh valley, chester county, New Castle County getting some showers now. Were finally starting to see something. Heres southern delaware getting a little bit of rain. But its not a large system, as you can see, were not seeing thunderstorms. The real action is way, way back in the great lakes. Snow on the back side of that, not even much snow, you know, when most of wisconsin is getting rain on the back side of a winter storm in december, not a cold pattern. Theres the future cast, you can see some of those showers moving past over the next couple of hours, they are kind of scattered, generally on the lighter side and here comes the front itself with a line of showers perhaps in the middle of the night, behind that the wind picks up, air cleans out, humidity goes down. Skies clear. So by tomorrow morning, its sunny. Its windy. Different day than today, but still not that cold. Here we go through tuesday, its dry, wednesday its dry. And then thursday here comes the next system coming up. And thats some heavy rain. Especially in delaware and south jersey. But its not going to last a real long time. That will be the heaviest rain that were going to see for a while. And then the mild air that is going to exit as we head toward friday, and over the weekend. There it is. Here comes the cold air. Its just not going to last. Mild air is going to build right back up and christmas week is going to be unseasonably warm, and by Christmas Eve were talking about near record warmth. Again. 60s, maybe even higher than that. 56 degrees, unseasonably warm with those showers tonight. Its all going to be gone by morning. A lot of sunshine, but High Temperature in the low 60s, a lot of wind, too. Gusts to 35 miles an hour. Still kind of mild wednesday and thursday, even with the rainy day thursday. Windy and colder friday and saturday. Saturdays the coldest day, but we warm right back up by monday. All right, glenn, thank you. A local Humane Society calls it a blatant act of animal cruelty.
