Jack Pinto
New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz played Sundays game against the Atlanta Falcons with a heavy heart. Cruz found out shortly after the shooting massacre in Newtown, Connecticut on Friday that one of the victims, 6-year old Jack Pinto, idolized him.
According to the New York Daily News, Cruz became aware of Jack Pinto after his Twitter feed started to blow up with talk that the 6-year-old had been one of his biggest fans. He instructed his fiancée/publicist, Elaina Watley, to find the family. It took her 20 minutes. She asked the family members if they wanted to talk to Cruz. They did.
“I was in the hotel (in Atlanta) and as I was talking to them I was fighting back tears. You could hear everybody in the background crying as well. It was tough to listen to,” Cruz said.
Cruz also talked to Pinto's 11-year old brother.
“He could barely speak to me. I was just talking to him, telling him to stay strong, to stay positive and I’m going to help the family any way I can,’’ Cruz said.
Pinto was such a fan of the Giants player his family is considering burying him in Cruz's No. 80 jersey
"I told them I was honored," Cruz told ESPN. "I couldn't even express to them how great that made me feel, and how big of an honor that is. … No words describe the type of feeling you get when a kid idolizes you so much that they want to, you know, unfortunately, like put him in the casket with your jersey on."
Cruz honored Pinto during Sunday's game by writing his name on his shoes and gloves.
“Jack Pinto, My Hero” was written on one of his cleats and “R.I.P Jack Pinto” on the other. On the back of his gloves, Cruz wrote “Jack Pinto This one is 4 U.!”
The Giants may have lost Sunday's game, but Cruz showed that athletes can be heroes off the field too.

AP.9 is not worried at all about any retaliation from Ice-T after pictures recently surfaced of him and the "Original Gangster's" wife Coco all boo'd up in Las Vegas.
"Man I'm from the hood I ain't worried about nothing man," AP told TMZ when they caught up with him recently. "Look at me man, do I look like I'm worried?"
As we previously reported, AP and Coco looked like more than friends in the photos that were taken.
Ice-T responded angrily when he saw the pics, calling them "disrespectful and in bad taste" and added "there's no way to avoid the obvious misconduct of a married couple."
Coco has since apologized for disrespecting her husband by posing for the pics, but said nothing else happened.
AP, however didn't deny that he smashed the thick, blonde model.
"Is that's a rumor? Hey no comment man," the Bay area rapper said.
What do you think? Did AP.9 chop Coco down?

President Obama comforted the nation and gave solace to Newtown’s inconsolable families Sunday — and strongly hinted he would seek a legislative solution to the wave of mass shootings that has haunted America on his watch.
Saying he was tormented by the massacre of 27 victims in Connecticut and the paroxysm of mass slaughter that has brought him to console grieving communities four times during his presidency, Obama signaled that in the weeks ahead he will deploy “whatever power this office holds” to seek reform of gun laws.
“Can we say we’re truly doing enough to give all the children of this country the chance they deserve to live out their lives in happiness and with purpose?” a somber Obama asked as audience members wept openly.
"My mom would be SO proud to see President Obama holding her granddaughter. But not as proud as I am of her" writes Cristina Hassinger via her social networking page.
President Obama poses with family members of victim Emilie Parker.
Emilie Alice Parker was killed Friday, Dec. 14, 2012, when a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn., killing 26 children and adults at the school.
“If we’re honest with ourselves, the answer is no,” he said. “We’re not doing enough, and we’ll have to change.”
He also made a heartbreaking personal connection with the infant granddaughter of slain Sandy Hook Elementary School Principal Dawn Hochsprung, the martyred 47-year-old who died while lunging at the gunman in a heroic and doomed effort to overpower him.
A moving tweet from the daughter of Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, who was killed in the massacre.
Cradling the adorable child in his arms, with his jaw set and his face a portrait of grief and resolve, the comforter-in-chief tried to lift the boundless pain of a picture-postcard New England village that overnight has become a gruesome national symbol of unspeakable evil.
“My mom would be SO proud to see President Obama holding her granddaughter,” tweeted Cristina Hassinger, the principal’s brave daughter.
“But not as proud as I am of her,” she added.
President Obama consoles Robert Parker, father of victim Emilie Parker.
All was hushed at Newtown High School as Obama took the stage barely 1 mile from the elementary school where 12 first-grade girls and eight first-grade boys — all of them only 6 or 7 years old — and six adult women were cut down.
“We have come to remember 20 beautiful children and six remarkable adults,” Obama told the mourners at the interfaith service.
“We have come to a school that could have been any school — in a town that could have been any town in America . . .“Newtown — you are not alone,” Obama proclaimed.
His voice was even, but he was emotionally vested in the audience of more than 1,500, and at one point, he appeared to brush away a tear with his index finger.
“Are we prepared to say that such violence visited upon our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?” the President asked.
“No single law or set of laws can eliminate evil from the world,” the President proclaimed . . . . But that can’t be an excuse for inaction.”
While he never addressed specifics of any legislation he might propose, Obama said the nation must do more to address the carnage — and said the four mass killings in his first term are “four too many.”
Minutes before he spoke, Obama tried to cheer up the three adorable sisters of beautiful 6-year-old victim Emilie Parker — and even posed with the girls for pictures that quickly were posted on the commemorative Facebook page set up in Emilie’s honor.
And he embraced and tried to comfort Robbie Parker, Emilie’s devastated father.
President Obama pauses during his emotional speech.
The President also lavished praise on the heroism of the school’s teachers and the guts and swiftness of the town’s first responders:
“When danger arrived in the halls of Sandy Hook Elementary, the school staff did not flinch, did not hestitate . . . ‘Wait for the good guys,’ the children were told — and the good guys came.”
And he said the kids themselves were selfless and heroic with one telling his teacher, “I know karate, and I will lead the way out!”
Obama’s emotion-packed words came after bone-chilling evidence surfaced that 20-year-old Adam Lanza’s unthinkable bloodletting could well have been much worse.
Outfitted with an arsenal of hundreds of rounds of deadly ammunition, he was equipped with enough firepower to kill almost every student in the school if he had enough time, law enforcement officials said.
He fired in high-velocity bursts from a military-style assault rifle packed with lethal ammunition designed to fragment within a victim’s body, piercing organs, severing arteries, shredding tissue and bones, and inflicting the maximum amount of damage possible.
Raising the specter that the blood-curdling massacre could have been more horrific than the one Lanza actually executed, officials said hundreds of unused bullets and multiple unspent 30-round magazines were found near his body.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy said Lanza killed himself with a single shot to the head as SWAT team cops closed in about 10 to 12 minutes into the blood bath.
Malloy confirmed that authorities believe Lanza was alive when police arrived at the school on Friday and only ended his killing spree by shooting himself when he knew the cops were closing in.
“There was a lot more ammo, a lot more clips,” said State Police Lt. Paul Vance. “A lot of lives were potentially saved.”
Local medical examiners also disclosed that Lanza shot his 52-year-old, weapon-loving mother Nancy Lanza four times in the head with a .223-caliber rifle in the home they shared on Friday, before attacking the school. Her pajama-clad body was found facedown in bed.
Meanwhile, a backlash was building against the National Rifle Association with word that the magazines that force- fed bullets into one of the guns Lanza used to cut down the children would have been banned under state legislation the NRA and gunmakers successfully fought last year.
His main weapon was a Bushmaster AR-15 rifle, Vance said at a Sunday news conference.
A proposal in 2011 would have made it a felony to possess magazines with more than 10 bullets and required owners to surrender them to law enforcement or remove them from the state. Opponents sent more than 30,000 emails and letters to state lawmakers in a campaign organized by the NRA, said Robert Crook, head of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, which opposed the legislation.
“The legislators got swamped by NRA emails,” said Betty Gallo, who lobbied on behalf of the legislation for Connecticut Against Gun Violence.
At the same time, the NRA, slammed for its strident pro-gun advocacy, backed away from a milestone boast it had made just the day before — that it’s chalked up 1.7 million “likes” on Facebook.
The page the NRA used to tout that tally has now vanished.
President Obama arrives at the start of an interfaith vigil.
In the aftermath of the calamity, families sought to comfort each other during tear-filled church services and painful vigils.
Adorable 6-year-old Jennifer Waters asked her mother a simple and achingly beautiful question that spoke to a nation’s boundless grief as she sat on a pew during Mass at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church:
“All those little children, are they with the angels now?” she wanted to know as she played with a tiny plastic Sonic the Hedgehog figurine. “Are they going to live with the angels now?”
Jennifer is the same age as so many of the victims, and her 45-year-old mother Joan quickly assured her daughter that yes, also those helpless slaughtered victims were indeed bound for a hallowed place.
As children grappled with the unfathomable dimensions of what had happened, shock descended on the workers whose impossible task was to restore order amid the mayhem.
“This is a week from hell,” said funeral director Daniel Honan, whose Honan Funeral Hom
Security forces swarm St. Rose Church of Lima in Newtown, Conn. after a phone threat scare.
Some caskets will be closed, he said, but some will be open, he said. "It brings the reality of the situation to light and helps bring closure.”
Death threats interrupted the church service that was supposed to begin the healing — and led to the forced and frightening evacuation of the church in the middle of the noon Mass.

CNN's Piers Morgan has joined many who are calling for gun control in America following the increasing number of mass shootings in the country.
The latest massacre took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Friday morning when 20-year old gunman Adam Lanza killed 26 people, including 20 children who were 6 and 7-years old.
Adam Lanza
Morgan debated on Friday with guests on his show, Steve Dulan of the Michigan Coalition of Responsible Gun Owners, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and gun-rights advocate John Lott, that more guns are not the answer.
The conversation got heated when Morgan asked “why on Earth” anyone would advocate for more guns, given the unspeakable carnage at Sandy Hook.
“If we could suddenly make all guns disappear, I'd have a different position,” Dulan replied, going on to explain that because firearms last “several human lifetimes with minimal maintenance,” then the only way to stop shooters is with other guns.
“This is exactly the argument that I have been hearing ever since I joined CNN," replied Morgan, noting that he joined the network the week before Gabby Giffords was shot, and since then he’s covered the mass shootings in Aurora, Colo.; outside Portland, Ore.; and at the Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis. "The argument I keep hearing is, 'Well, if everybody else was armed, it wouldn't happen.' It's a load of total hogwash!"
Nadler, who represents parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, backed up Morgan’s claims with some statistics. “The proof of the pudding is that in every other industrialized country in the world, other than the United States, they have reasonable gun control laws," he said. “They have 100 people a year, not 9,000 or 10,000 a year, killed by guns."
Morgan argued that Americans should look to the example set by Scotland, where handguns were banned in response to the 1996 Dunblane massacre in which 16 schoolchildren were killed.
Lott tried to argue that the murder rate in Scotland subsequently went up, but Morgan wasn’t having it.
“There are nearly 12,000 murders a year from guns in this country. When are you guys going to focus on that and stop telling me the answer is more guns. It is not the answer! How many more kids have to die before you guys say, 'We want less guns, not more.”
Lott fired back, telling Morgan “The gun-control laws that you're pushing have killed people.”
The host dismissed Lott's claim as “ a load of nonsense,” and then he really let loose: "I'm so frustrated, I'm so furious, that these kids have been blown away again with legally acquired weapons. Some boy, who's got problems takes his mother's three weapons – including this ridiculous assault rifle – and goes in a school and kills these kids, and you guys on the gun lobby still want to tell me the answer is more guns. It is madness!"
Dr. H. Wayne Carver
Morgan also criticized Connecticut chief medical examiner, Dr. H. Wayne Carver, for his handling of the press conference Saturday when he announced the manner in which the victims were killed. At times Carver laughed while talking to the media.
Connecticut officials released on Saturday the identities of the 20 children and six adults killed in the mass shooting at a suburban elementary school in Newtown.
The state's chief medical examiner also confirmed that the gunman's mother, a twenty-seventh victim, was shot dead by her son in a related incident. The gunman took his own life.
Those killed at the school were 12 girls, eight boys and six female adults. They are listed below by name, date of birth (mm/dd/yy), gender and age.

Rapper/actor/director/producer RZA of the Wu Tang Clan is facing a lawsuit today from a Dutch singer who claims he didn't properly compensate her for her work.
Thea Van Siejaen says she co-wrote and performed on 14 songs with RZA from 2004 to 2011, including the song "Baby Boy," which was featured in Jet Li's film "Unleashed."
According to Van Siejaen she has only been paid a fraction of what she's owed according to TMZ.
The singer says she has been afraid to come forward and demand full payment for her work because she feared RZA would blackball her within the industry. Van Siejaen is now asking the court to force RZA to cough up her share of royalties for the songs.
"Unfortunately this is a groundless lawsuit by someone RZA had helped get off the streets, lent a helping hand to, and now thinks he’s an easy target to mark looking for money," say sources close to RZA.
