Hartford Courant just now with
sad, haunting details, from what was found in Lanza's room to what happened when one pupil shouted for his friends to escape. Six did, but he was shot down.
When the shooting started, school janitor Rick Thorne ran through the
school warning teachers to close their doors and then used a master key
to lock many of the doors for them. The state police SWAT team that was
clearing the school after the shooting had to get the key from Thorne
to open some of the rooms. The key was so worn from use that morning it
snapped in one of the doors.
A source with knowledge of the probe
said that when Lanza drove to the Sandy Hook Elementary School he parked
his car in a way that could have set him up to ambush responding police
officers. He parked with the passenger's side facing a small brick wall
near the front entrance. His shotgun was left leaning against the
passenger's side door.
The spot gave him potentially a perfect
line of sight to shoot at unsuspecting police driving down the long
driveway, around a curve and into his line of fire. It also provided him
cover since the school and woods were behind him.
