There can be few people who listen to the news that do not known that last Friday 14 December 2012 twenty-year-old Adam Lanza shot dead 7 adults and 20 children, aged between 6 and 7, at Sandy Hook elementary school near Newtown in Connecticut.

Not as many will know that a bare two days later, down the road in nearby New Milford, Connecticut, it was business as usual at Shooters pistol range. One marksman brought his young son along, as a treat, for target practice.
