NEW HAVEN — As Gov. Dannel Malloy signed a
proclamation declaring Dec. 21, a “Day of Mourning” in the state, New Haven will participate in what is expected to be a state-wide
moment of silence at 9:30 a.m., according to a statement.
"The moment of science will then be followed by
the ringing of City Hall's bells twenty-six times in honor of each life lost
last Friday at Sandy Hook Elementary," the statement said.
Mayor John DeStefano Jr. "has also set-up a one-time, voluntary
payroll deduction for city employees to contribute to charities serving the
families of the victims of the tragedy in Newtown. New Haven remains resolute
in the effort at both the federal and state levels lobbying for stricter gun
laws," the statement said.
