Dozens of people in Lancaster County grieved together at a special service and vigil for those killed yesterday in the mass shooting in Connecticut.
There were 26 candles for the innocent gunned down in Newtown yesterday.
A very emotional vigil at Saint James Episcopal Church in Lancaster, remembered them all.
Mayor Rick Gray, who helped organize the event, says "not again, it didn't happen again, but it seems more and more in our society that this type of thing is happening"
Gray says religion without action is meaningless, "what we should be doing as a community is looking into what is causing this type of thing."
John Walker of Lancaster says, "well I think to deal with it you have to spend some time thinking about it, you have to deal with your feelings and this is a way to do that."
Reverend Timothy Mentzer from Saint James Episcopal Church says, "we could be sad, shocked angry afraid. we're giving people permission to have those feelings is important in the first step of healing"
But, many here still ask why this happened.
The Reverand had an answer tonight: No matter what, he says, evil exists, it tries to undo the good, that we must always keep in our hearts.
