PLEASE SUBSCRIBE – DON’T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE The 20 children and six adults killed in the Newtown school massacre were all shot multiple times, many with a rifle, Connecticut’s chief medical examiner said Saturday. The children — 12 girls and eight boys — were all 6 or 7 years old, Dr. H. Wayne Carver said at an afternoon news briefing. “This is a very devastating set of injuries,” Carver said. “I believe everyone was hit more than once.” He said all the victims at Sandy Hook Elementary died of gunshot wounds and all the deaths have been classified as homicides. Carver said he personally performed seven autopsies and those children had between three and 11 wounds each. Two were shot at close range, the others at a distance. Asked whether they suffered, he grimly replied, “Not for very long.” He said he will perform an autopsy Sunday on the suspected gunman, Adam Lanza, 20, who is believed to have killed himself. He will also do an autopsy on Lanza’s mother, Nancy Lanza, 52, who was found dead in her Newtown home. President Barack Obama will travel to Newtown on Sunday to meet with the victims’ families and thank first responders, the White House announced Saturday night.
