A procession of 34 buggies and carriages carried mourners to a hilltop cemetery in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, today as the Amish community buried the first of five girls killed by a gunman inside their tiny one-room schoolhouse.

Amish families gathered today to bury four of the five girls gunned down inside their tiny rural schoolhouse.

The gunman who killed five girls in an Amish schoolroom confided to his wife during the siege that he sexually abused two relatives 20 years ago.
