The Chicago Tribune reports with video of the medical examiner's statement.
The mystery deepened as Newtown education officials said they had
found no link between Lanza's mother and the school, contrary to news
reports that said she was a teacher there. Investigators said they
believe Adam Lanza attended Sandy Hook Elementary many years ago, but
they had no explanation for why he went there on Friday.
Lanza shot and killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at the home they
shared, then drove to the school in her car with at least three of her
guns, forced his way inside and opened fire in two classrooms,
authorities said. Within minutes, he killed 20 children, six adults and
himself.
On Saturday, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. H. Wayne Carver said all the
victims at the school were killed up close with a rifle and were shot
more than once. All six adults killed at the school were women. Of the
20 children, eight were boys and 12 were girls. All the children were 6
or 7 years old.
So, his mother did not work at the school, but he himself had been a student there. Also, contrary to earlier reports, a long gun was used.
