- How the Killing took place.
- It is still not clear why Lanza killed his mother, who had divorced Lanza’s father Peter in 2009.
A parent told AP that Nancy Lanza was a substitute teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School, but this is not confirmed. A search of Connecticut’s educator certification system revealed no-one by that name, and school employees have said Mrs Lanza did not work there.
After killing his mother, Lanza drove her car to the school, which has about 700 pupils aged between 5 and 10.
He was armed with at least three weapons and dressed in black fatigues.
It is unclear what sort of weapons the gunman carried with him and whether any were left in his car.
Visitors to the school have to be buzzed in by a member of staff. But at about 09:30, Lanza forced his way into the school, police now say, contrary to earlier reports that he had been let in.
Newtown police were notified of shooting at the school over their radios at 09:36.
“Caller is indicating she thinks someone’s shooting in the building,” a police dispatcher said.
A school employee ran through the halls, warning of a gunman on the loose, and someone switched on the intercom, alerting people in the building to the attack by letting them hear the mayhem in the school office, a teacher told AP.
One young survivor said the gunshots sounded like pots and pans falling to the floor.
Teachers locked their doors and ordered children to huddle in a corner or hide in cupboards as shots echoed through the building.
The victims were all shot by a high-powered rifle, medical examiner H Wayne Carver said on Saturday.
The seven dead children he personally examined had been shot between three and 11 times each, and two of those were shot at close range.
“The bullets are designed in such a fashion that the energy is deposited in the tissue and so the bullet stays in,” Dr Carver told reporters.(BBC)
