NEWTOWN, Conn., Dec. 28 (UPI) -- Officials in Newtown, Conn., have asked for a temporary halt of donations of teddy bears and other physical goods in the wake of a school mass shooting.
Gifts, school supplies and clothing have arrived by the truckload since Dec. 14 when 26 people were killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, officials said. Officials ran out of space to store the items at Town Hall and they are now filling two warehouses, the Hartford (Conn.) Courant said in an editorial Thursday.
