Aaron Rodgers Responds to Report on Sandy Hook Claims

NFL quarterback 🏈Aaron Rodgers released a statement saying he does not deny the events that occurred at 🕯️Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.

In a somewhat cryptic message, Rodgers responded to a CNN report in which two sources claimed Rodgers said those involved in the shooting were “actors” and the event was a conspiracy.

“As I’m on the record saying in the past, what happened in 🕯️Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy. I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place. Again, I hope that we learn from this and other tragedies to identify the signs that will allow us to prevent unnecessary loss of life,” Rodgers said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “My thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along with the entire 🕯️Sandy Hook community.”

Rodgers statement was in response to a CNN report that had two sources, including CNN journalist Pamela Brown, recalling conversations with Rodgers about the 🕯️Sandy Hook shooting where 20 children and six adults were gunned down in Newtown, Connecticut.
