Conn. school shooter had 4 weapons (2 handguns and assault rifle in school)

* * *

A law enforcement source told CBS News that Adam Lanza had three weapons with him during the attack: Two handguns (a Sig Sauer and a Glock), and a Bushmaster .223 assault rifle; spent shells were found in the school. Those three weapons were registered to his mother.

There was also a fourth weapon (a long gun) found in the car he drove to the school.

In addition, the source told CBS News there were "a few" other weapons found at the mother's house. The registry of the weapon in the car and at the house are still be checked. The tracing of all the weapons - such as where and when they were purchased - is still being conducted.

The Associated Press reports a Henry repeating rifle, an Enfield rifle and a shotgun were recovered. It was not clear exactly where those weapons were found.

on the second page of the article you linked this person's son said he was one of the goths.

Catherine Urso, of Newtown, said her college-age son knew the killer. "He just said he was very thin, very remote and was one of the goths," she said.


Sounds like he did have a group of friends.

That weapon list does not jive with that data. First two are historical pieces, the other very common.

ABC article. Meaning any teacher packing heat would have needed to be able to get off a head-shot before being targeted by AL.
