Granddad comforted children as they fled the chaos

Gene Rosen was heading from his home to a diner when he saw six children sitting in a semi-circle at the end of his driveway.

It was about 9.30am and the children had just run from their school to escape the gunman.

“We can’t go back to school,” one boy told Rosen. “Our teacher is dead. Mrs Soto; we don’t have a teacher.”
