New report reveals Jesse Lewis saved six classmates by telling them to run when Adam Lanza's gun ran out of bullets but was shot dead for his bravery when the killer reloaded

A six-year-old boy courageously gave his life during the Newtown school massacre to save six of his classmates, it was revealed today.

Adam Lanza's gun jammed after he burst into Jesse Lewis' classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed teacher Victoria Soto. Jesse saw in a moment that he had an opening.

He shouted to his classmates, who were huddled in the corner, holding hands. Six children fled the classroom and made it to safety.

'He yelled, "Run!" Adam reloaded and shot him in the head,' said his mother Scarlett Lewis, who learned details of the events inside the classroom from investigators.
