By the way, the bullets used were particularly
designed to harm:
Adam Lanza used a Bushmaster .223 semi-automatic rifle at close range to kill
children and adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on
Friday.
"I believe everybody was hit more than once," said Dr. H. Wayne
Carver, the state of Connecticut's Chief Medical Examiner.
He said the
bullets were uniquely damaging and that Lanza's victims died almost
immediately.
"The bullets are designed in such a fashion the energy is
deposited in the tissue so the bullet stays in," Carver said. He described the
wounds as a "very devastating set of injuries."
Two handguns were also found
at the scene, but Carver described the Bushmaster as the killer's primary
weapon. A fourth weapon was found nearby....
The weapons that police
recovered from the scene included a Glock 9-mm handgun, a Sig Sauer 9-mm handgun
and a Bushmaster rifle. Police also found .223 shell casings. Lanza was wearing
a bullet-proof vest....
The Glock and Sig Sauer are popular with law
enforcement officers and the military, and are quickly and easily reloaded.
You not only don't need that to go deer hunting, it would be a
negative.
And here's a bit about the Bushmaster and what it's used for
normally:
Adam Lanza used a semiautomatic Bushmaster .223 rifle
during his rampage through Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday, firing dozens
of high-velocity rounds as he killed 20 children and six adults, authorities
said Sunday.
Lanza, 20, carried "many high-capacity clips" for the
lightweight military-style rifle, Lt. Paul Vance, a spokesman for the
Connecticut State Police, told The Huffington Post in an email. Two handguns and
a shotgun were also recovered at the scene. A military-style rifle
is used by the military, as the headline highlights, "
School Shooter Adam Lanza
Used Military-Style Bushmaster Rifle."[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The idea that he needed the rifle to kill more may sound
good. But if all he had were the Glock and Sig Sauer 9mm
handguns and a few 10 or 17 round clips for the glock and sig
he could have easily killed 25-40 people in 10 minutes.
The clips in the glock are easily changed in seconds, not
sure about the Sig Sauer but most 9mm guns the clips change
in seconds.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
