Clinton chokes up while talking about Sandy Hook shooting

Hillary Clinton grew emotional on the campaign trail Monday while introducing a mother whose child was killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. CNN reports Clinton’s voice choked up while introducing Nicole Hockley, the mother of Dylan Hockley, a 6-year-old killed in the school shooting. Aides say the interaction between the two was not planned as the two just met in a photo line before the event, where Clinton asked Hockley if she would tell her story at the town hall. Hockley told the story of losing her son in the shooting and her efforts to push gun control legislation. Clinton unveiled new proposals to rein in gun violence shortly after.
