Part 1: The gunman, the hero teacher and other details of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
The original reports about what was used in shooting all the kids and teachers were coming out so fast it was hard to know exactly what went on. Original reports said the rifle was in the car and the shooter (won't glorify his name) used only hand guns.
FBI two fire arms recovered. at 4:32 into video report Two children injured.
In this one they said the shooter's mother was an aid at the school. But as we learned later, that was not true. That's the problem. When you rely only on original reports, the reports that come out afterwards all too often are forgotten about and that is what the latest spin is all about. People are saying that the shooter only used handguns. It is all over the web and lately I've been hearing people I trust tell me that they believe it was only handguns used.
By the 15th they knew more.

Police To Re-Create Scene Outside Sandy Hook School
Bullets Hit Cars In Parking Lot, And Officers Want To Know If Lanza Was Firing At Them

State police are considering partially re-creating the scene outside the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14 as the first police officers responded to the mass shooting to try and answer a nagging question: Did Adam Lanza fire at police officers?

Police are discussing bringing back some of the cars that were in the school lot as the first Newtown officers and state police troopers arrived following 911 calls that was a shooter was on the loose. The cars will be placed exactly where they parked that morning as will the police cruisers of the first responders. The plan is to receate the scene in the coming week.

Police have found numerous bullets outside the school that hit at least three cars, including the one owned by Lauren Rousseau, who was killed by Lanza in her classroom along with 14 of her students and a special-education aide. The three cars that were hit, belonging to Sandy Hook staffers, were near where at least one of the first group of officers parked before running into the school, sources said.

First responders said they could hear gunshots when they arrived, meaning Lanza was still firing. It was only after they entered the building that the shooting stopped and police discovered that Lanza, 20, had killed himself with a pistol, but not before killing 26 others in the school, including 20 first-graders, with a Bushmaster .223 rifle.

Sources said the bullets that hit cars outside probably were fired from teacher Victoria Soto's room. That was the second room Lanza entered as he firing at teachers and students. Soto and her aide, Mary Ann Murphy, were killed there, as were six students. Six other children escaped because, police believe, Lanza stopped firing briefly either because his gun jammed or he had trouble reloading his gun. Seven other students survived because Soto hid them in a closet.
