Original Note:
Both photos are of Dawn Hochsprung, the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary, who was killed in that shooting. The images are the same, so the right one is likely either an edited image or Fox mixed-up images with Donna Page (who ran for Sandy Hook victims). https://www.rgj.com/story/factchecker/2013/04/27/wild-claims-about-boston-marathon-bombings/5680579/#:~:text=The%20screenshot%20seems%20Photoshopped%20from%20when%20it%20was%20used%20during%20Sandy%20Hook%20coverage https://www.thatsnonsense.com/boston-marathon-bombing-hoaxes-and-conspiracy-nonsense/#:~:text=Others%20have%20suggested%20that%20since%20the%20content%20inside%20the%20picture%20frame%20seems%20to%20have%20been%20digitally%20removed%20(in%20the%20right%20hand%20photo)%20that%20the%20image%20may%20have%20been%20manipulated https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/boston-marathon-bombing-rumors/#:~:text=Another%20image%20purportedly%20demonstrated%20a%20connection%20between%20the%20Boston%20Marathon%20bombing%20and%20the%20Sandy%20Hook%20shooting: https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/possible-use-of-wrong-photo-in-a-news-report-does-not-mean-subject-is-a-crisis-idUSL1N2Y80OL/ https://wafflesatnoon.com/sandy-hook-boston-marathon-victim/#:~:text=Both%20photos%20are%20of%C2%A0Dawn%20Hochsprung%2C%20the%20principal%20of%20Sandy%20Hook%20Elementary%20who%20was%20killed%20in%20that%20shooting https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/6-mind-blowingly-ridiculous-conspiracy-theories-surrounding#:~:text=BuzzFeed%20reviewed%20Fox%20News%20footage%20on%20closed%20captioning%20and%20was%20unable%20to%20find%20this%20particular%20screenshot
