Lt. J. Paul Vance, the face of an ongoing Connecticut State Police investigation into worst grade-school shooting in U.S. history, Thursday debunked media and Internet reports that Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza killed his victims with handguns and not the Bushmaster XM-15 E2S rifle that is now the focus of a proposed federal assault-weapons ban.
All 26 of Lanza's victims were shot with the .223-caliber semi-automatic rifle, said Vance, who bristled at claims to the contrary during an interview with Hearst Connecticut Newspapers.
"It's all these conspiracy theorists that are trying to mucky up the waters," said Vance, the longtime state police spokesman. Multiple Second Amendment and gun owner websites have attempted to cast doubts on whether the Bushmaster XM-15, a type of AR-15 rifle that is currently legal, was used in the Dec. 14 carnage done by Lanza.
Some have cited a Dec. 15 "Today" show video clip from the day after the shooting, in which NBC News Justice Department correspondent Pete Williams said that four handguns were recovered inside Sandy Hook Elementary School and that the Bushmaster rifle was found in the trunk of a car owned by Lanza's slain mother, Nancy Lanza.
"There's no doubt that the rifle was used solely to kill 26 people in that school," Vance said.
Twenty children ages 7 and under and six female educators were killed when Lanza forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and sprayed the occupants with bullets before turning a gun on himself.
Vance said he made it abundantly clear during his media briefings since the tragedy that Lanza carried out the shooting with the Bushmaster.
"I personally articulated that probably a dozen times in Newtown," Vance said.

Vance is a moron. When asked a direct question by a reporter he freezes for a minute before completely ignoring the question and starts babbling on about what a great job he’s doing! And you just accept whatever release this ass-clown puts out? You and Chippy are going steady are you?
Did you not see the videos at the link??? Did you not see the broken window next to the door?? Are you blind???
I don't know why Jim bothers banning Alex Jones and prisonplanet from his site anymore. This place is turning into a mirror image.
All killed? None merely wounded? Every shot was fatal? This guy must have been one hell of a shot!
Dude I didn’t say I accepted a damn thing. I only posted what the State Police had on their website.
Gee I’m sorry Chippy, you seem to know a guy who ran from police, you know where he lives, you know he had a child in the school,..... But you can’t tell us his name? Shame on you Chippy! You had us all excited there. By the way, that’s what I always do, run from the police and my kid.Who wouldn’t?
Yep.
Its gone from people with questions to full blown mental cases who get hostile when flaws in their fantasy theses are pointed out.
Mental breakdowns in the aftermath of the election?
Just like the Trayvon Martin case. The police did their job there and were right from the start. Then came all the false reports from NBC and ABC calling their investigation a cover up, a conspiracy, a fraud — and then we got DeeDee.
The police were right in Sanford and they are right in Newtown.
It’s not hard to do when you put 3 to 11 bullets in each of your victims — some from point blank range.
And the motive? How does a woman own a weapon that is illegal in CTwhen she lives in CT? Sorry, I missed the motive again,...you were saying? By the way since a guy as smart as you has all the answers (well at least you and Chippy do!) perhaps you know when, where and if our psychotic 120 lb weakling pussy was cremated or embalmed and where his remains have been placed or entombed? How about Lady Lanza? Where did they dump her? Just asking the questions the progressives here are afraid to ask?
You have your facts wrong. Return to Prison Planet. Your visa has expired.
It’s been confirmed since like a day or two after the shooting, if you had been paying attention.
“... agnostic contrarian truthers...”
I wondered before, but to come up with and use such a ridiculous term like that, you must either work for the government or teach at a university.
I agree. It is getting really frustrating. This site shouldn’t be conspiracy theorist central.
So who did the Bee actually interview or did they make it up? I have yet to see/hear anything from anyone who was actually there.
Guess who I am more likely to listen to?
Here is what I want to share with you.
"Some fool once said, “The earth is round!” People shot down that conclusion without even looking at the supporting premises. “Of course it isn’t,” they shouted back. “That makes no sense!” Others tried to refute the claims. “The Earth can’t be round,” they put forth. “The ground is flat. See?” But the believer pointed out that there was a slight curve to the horizon. The world wasn’t flat. He set aside his biases and opened his mind to analyzing what he’d been told all his life. Why should he believe it? What made it true? What made it false? He asked questions and demanded proof. He examined the arguments of authorities who made sweeping statements and claims that didn’t hold water. This round-world believer didn’t just refute what others said. He brought up premises to support his own ideas. He was thinking creatively, and then he took world-changing action after critically evaluating his innovative idea.
You are not alone.
And the strange things just keep coming on this story. Thanks for this addition.
