Teacher Saves Boy During Newtown School Shooting

NEWTOWN, Conn. (CBS) - The children who survived the Newtown school shooting and their parents will live with the memories of what happened.

A mother spoke with CBS 2 who says a teacher saved her son's life.

"I'm just so grateful for the teacher who saved him," said the mom. "She definitely did, he had bullets going by him and she grabbed him and another child and pulled them into a classroom."

"I saw some of the bullets going past the hall that I was right next to and then a teacher pulled me into her classroom," says the boy named Bear. "It sounded like someone was kicking a door."

There were 20 children and six adults killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
