n less than five minutes, a gunman shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and killed 26 people inside, then took his own life, leaving more than 150 spent rounds in his wake, according to documents released Thursday.

Danbury State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky says Adam Lanza killed 20 first-graders and six adults using a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle before taking his own life with a Glock 10-mm. handgun. Sedensky says Lanza had another loaded handgun with him inside the school, as well as three, 30-round magazines for the Bushmaster.

The documents say Lanza was found dead in the school wearing a bulletproof vest and military-style clothing, according to the Associated Press.

A loaded 12-gauge shotgun was found in the glove compartment of the Honda Civic Lanza drove to the school with two magazines containing 70 rounds of Winchester 12-gauge shotgun rounds.

An arsenal of weapons, including guns, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, Samurai swords, knives and a bayonet were found in Lanza's Connecticut home following the Dec.

And as I pointed out in the other thread on this, this is impossible - not the "glove compartment" thing - but the two mags containing 70 rounds. The largest Saiga 12 mag only holds 20 rounds. There were two mags. Do the math.

They're making this up as they go along, folks.

****EDIT - now there was a 30 round mag (IIRC) made for a very short period of time, years ago, but they are very few and far between. He may well have had two of them, but I very much doubt it, and still wouldn't make 70 rounds.

Okay, shotgun busted, but how about this. They say he fired 150 rounds but only had three 30 round magazines for the Bushmaster. Other reports say everyone was shot with the Bushmaster except for his suicide. Did he reload magazines while inside, or is their magazine or shots fired count just off?

It's fuzzy math. Perfectly acceptable for todays journalistic standards.
