School shooting this morning

[4eyedwillie]

The video footage I have seen it looks to be a tactical shotgun. The video is not clear at all. When the officer clears the gun the charging handle is on the right side and pretty far forward. An AR-15 has it centered at the rear.

I'm not a huge gun nut and there's no doubt to me that the gun being taken out of the trunk in the video is a Shotgun with a "tactical" (whatever that really means) stock.

Don't you doubters think that by now if there was a video of the Bushmaster being taken out of the trunk during the day it would have surfaced? The government couldn't get to EVERYONE that DVR'd it if that is what happened.
The media was pulling their reports out of their ass in a desperate attempt to say something. I never saw a video of the gun during the day but I did hear them talking about rifle casings scattered on the floor.

This irritates the piss out of me. There's always someone jumping on a chance to sue for anything they can

Yes I feel bad for the kid. Yes I know she may very well have a hard time dealing with this, but it is ridiculous to this she needs 100M

NEWTOWN, CT -- Claiming that the state failed to protect Sandy Hook Elementary School from "foreseeable harm," a New Haven-based attorney is seeking permission to file a $100 million lawsuit on behalf of a 6-year-old survivor of the Dec. 14 shooting.

The action comes two weeks after 20 children and six educators were gunned down at the school by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, a Newtown resident who police said ultimately turned the gun on himself. Lanza reportedly shot and killed his mother, Nancy, before driving to the nearby school.

The attorney, Irving Pinsky, filed the request Thursday with Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr., according to an article by the Hartford Courant.

Because Connecticut has sovereign immunity, the Claims Commissioner must grant permission before the lawsuit could be filed, Pinsky told Patch in a telephone interview Saturday morning.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen here,” he said. "They [claims to the commissioner] generally take a long time."

“There’s plenty of history of them granting permission, but I’m not going to guess out loud what they’re going to do,” he added.

Pinsky is representing a 6-year-old girl identified in the claim as "Jill Doe." The claim says "the state Board of Education, the state Department of Education and the education commissioner failed to take steps to protect the minor children from foreseeable harm," the Courant reports.

It further states that the girl suffered emotional and psychological distress as a result of the things she heard and saw that day.

There are more than 600 students enrolled at Sandy Hook School, which is still closed off as a crime scene while state police continue their investigation. Sandy Hook students will be attending Chalk Hill School in neighboring Monroe for the foreseeable future.

“I’m pretty sure there’s many people who have attorney’s lined up,” Pinsky said.

He is still building evidence for the claim, he said, through interviews with witnesses and looking into any potential prior acts of Adam Lanza. “That’s a big part of figuring what to do with any case,” he noted.

Pinsky, who was born and raised in Connecticut, said he hopes the state and country will take the Newtown tragedy as an opportunity to effect positive change and put in place new measures to protect against future school shootings.

"Society should be on edge," Pinsky said. "Something terrible happened."

He says there seems to be concensus that something needs to be done, but the "ways we do that is what people are arguing about” — whether it's more proactive relations with youngster, gun control, improved mental health treatment or a myriad of other related issues.

"We’ll never have a perfect society in my lifetime," Pinsky said, "but I want to make it better.”

Already, in the days following the shooting, President Barack Obama spoke of the need to do more to protect the country's children during a visit to Newtown. He also appointed Vice President Joe Biden to oversee the policy response to the tragedy.

Recognizing the need for a multi-prong approach and looking to ride the building momentum to effect change, the group Newtown United was formed in the wake of the tragedy. A cross-section of the community, the group has the support of elected officials and is at work refining its mission.

did you really think a lawyer wouldn't attempt to profit off of this? its dumb to think the state could prevent this un thinkable act from happening.

[Downs]

Well a start would have been to allow those allowed the means to protect themselves past playing hide and go seek.

Everyone wins in this except the victims, their families and law abiding gun owners.

He killed himself with a gun shot wound to the back of the lower portion of his skull with that 10mm. The round exited the front of his head and through the hat he had on. Then the round embedded itself into the ceiling tile. Glock had a stove pipe, was found 2 1/2' feet from him with his hair stuck in the front sight.

Look at the barrel of the AR15. That thing looks like it fired several thousand rounds and then was dipped in water. Found spent 5.56 casings only number less than 100. How did that thing get that HOT?

It was probably nasty prior to the incident.

Did you see the picture. Nasty doesn't describe the barrel. It just doesn't look right. I have abused the shit out of an AR but never seen one look like that, that didn't get blown apart by an IED.

Typical.

[Woods Racing Transmission]

I still want to know how there wasn't anyone that was injured? All those rounds and everyone of them was a kill shot. I ain't buying that.

[GhostTX]

Oh good grief, even the cops called it a "military style assault weapon". And wow...they can't count? 20 rounds of shotgun rounds and they initially said 70. Slight difference.

Man...They KNEW something was going to happen and no actions were taken? No alerts to schools? Anything?
8. That investigators determined that on 12/12/12, an individual logged onto a website called 4Chan.com and anonymously posted "I'm going to kill myself on friday and it will make the news. be watching at 9 am." That another anonymous individual asked, "Where at?" The ftrst individual responded "I live in Connecticut, thats as much as I'll say."
9. That additionally on 12/14/12, a concerned individual in Texas contacted the Hartford Police Department and reported that her son was playing a video game named 'Call o(Duty' approximately 20 hours ago. She continued that a gamer with the screen name [RaWr]i<3EmoGirls (hereinafter "User") stated: "next week or very soon there maybe a shooting at my school and other schools so ifi die remember me plz ifi don't get on for 3-5 not including weeks that means i died and im being 100 percent serious." The User then stated: "something might go bad tomorrow this could possibly be my last moments alive.-." Finally, User stated, "as far as i know !heres a list ofppl that are gunna get shot-. I hoper aint on it."

154 casings found. 8 outside the school. 146 inside (17 in hall, 80 in one classroom, 49 in another). I'm guessing some malfunctions with 5 live rounds in the school.

I have to guess he shot his way in, blasting a big hole (img 012 & 042) in the lobby room pane glass window, rather than using the doors. Edit, NVM, police entered there.

Damn...Lanza had issues. His "Adventures of Granny" book he wrote...all about hurting and killing children.
Excerpts:
Granny goes to Marine boot camp and meets up with Dora the Beserker and Swiper the Raccoon. Granny asks Dora if she would assassinate a soldier at midnight and Dora agrees to do it. Dora says " I like hurting pebple ... Especially children ... "
When they arrive at the daycare center,Dora sends Swiper the Raccoon inside to distract the children .. Then Dora enters and says "Let's hurt children."


Shooting starts at 9:30am. First 911 call at 9:35am. Officers on scene at 9:37am and start staging. Single and final shot at 9:40am. Police are now at front door of school at 9:40am. Sweep of perimeter complete at 9:44am. Officers enter school near 9:45am...
