Local services remember Sandy Hook victims

Groups in northwest Ohio held services on Friday, Dec. 21, 2012 in remembrance of the victims of last week's mass shooting in Connecticut. Sisters of St. Francis of Sylvania rang chapel bells 27 times for the victims, read their names, held a moment of silence, and prayed for those killed. At the same time, local clergy persons led a prayer outside each school in the Oregon school district.
