Lanza had hundreds of bullets
The Connecticut elementary school gunman Adam Lanza was carrying four guns, including an assault-type weapon, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition - enough to kill just about every student in Sandy Hook.
Gunman and mother formally identified by police
Lieutenant Paul Vance of Connecticut State Police said the chief medical officers has been able to identify two of the dead.
He said: "The female that was found at the secondary scene location has been positively identified as Nancy Lanza.
"Her birth date is 6 September 1960. Her cause of death is multiple gun shot wounds and the death has been ruled a homicide.
"The male subject identified as the shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary School has been positively identified as Adam Lanza. His cause of death is gunshot wounds and his death has been ruled as suicide."
