Friends and family in Newtown, Connecticut bury another student and one of the teachers killed in last week's shooting. A car carrying 7 year old Daniel Barden passes by first responders who stand by to pay their respects. Loved ones are also saying goodbye to Victoria Soto. The 27 year old teacher has been called a hero for giving up her life to protect her students.
"She would not hesitate to think to save anyone else before herself, and especially children," says Vicki Soto's sister Carlee Soto. "She loved them more than life, and she would definitely put herself in front of them any day, any day and for any reason. It doesn't surprise anybody that knows Vicki that she did this."
Connecticut lawmakers took a break for budget talks today to have a moment of silence in honor of the victims killed at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Tishomingo County voters OK beer, alcohol sales
May 22, 2013 23:38 GMT
IUKA, Miss. (AP) -- Tishomingo County is the latest Mississippi jurisdiction to legalize alcohol sales.
Voters approved the sale of liquor, wine and beer Tuesday, reports the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/13JCcix).
It wasn't clear referendums would pass until affidavit ballots were counted Wednesday.
With more than half Tishomingo County's voters casting ballots, legalizing alcohol passed by 42 votes, while legalizing beer and light wine passed by 73. The county borders Alabama and Tennessee.
Lawmakers legalized liquor at a proposed resort at the county's Bay Springs Lake in 2010, but it wasn't built.
Greene County voters legalized beer sales last year, while Corinth, New Albany and Senatobia have legalized alcohol sales under a 2012 law that allows cities to hold votes.
Mississippi has 13 remaining counties that allow no beer or alcohol sales.
