Mayor Proposes Naming School After Sandy Hook Teacher

The mayor of Stratford, Conn., is proposing to name a school after Vicki Soto, the heroic teacher who died while trying to protect her students during the Dec. 14 massacre in nearby Newtown.

Mayor John Harkins says the bravery shown by Victoria Soto should never be forgotten.
