Newtown officers who entered the building nearly six minutes after they had arrived.
Used those six minutes to finish their donuts. According to Thorne, Lanza shot through the front to gain access. Officer Seabrook, from an interview with him, says he/the cops with him knocked down the front to get in. Why would the first cops going in waste time knocking it down when Lanza got through? I can see the second group taking the time to clear more room for those following but not the first group. It is an indication of more donuts. However, the pictures of the front do not show the glass was cleared out to offer more access. The pictures show a large hole with lots of still intact glass around the bottom and sides. IOW, either Lanza didn't shoot through the window or the cops lied about them knocking it out. Either way, there's a lie.
an unidentified teacher who was shot in the foot tells the dispatcher that she is bleeding
Either this is Hammond or it's the mystery teacher who hasn't been identified for a year. As if the other teachers and students wouldn't know who she is.
Sedensky concluded that Lanza acted alone in planning and carrying out the massacre
In Feb, he wouldn't unseal the warrants because it would "seriously jeopardize" the investigation by disclosing information known only to other "potential suspects" and that he may not have acted alone. We still don't know who the two people who went by the gym windows were other than one was a SWAT officer from a nearby town who is known only as cammo pants man who told the parents he didn't do it and was placed in the front of a cop car. So many questions with that but the first being what was he doing at the school and then why did he run from the cops? Where did his buddy get off to? Was he the guy that was handcuffed at the fire station or was that a second person?
An aside, good ol' Gene has several problems with what he was doing when the kids appeared on his lawn - he was going on a walk, he was returning from a walk, he was feeding cats in the loft, he was getting into his car to go to breakfast at a country cafe and he had heard what he thought was deer hunters shooting and walked outside. He also can't decide through his countless overly dramatic interviews if the bus driver was a male or female. Flippity floppity.
Nor can anyone explain why the driver put the kids on his lawn instead of at the fire station which they'd passed next door. Weird.
The police heard the final shot at 9:40:03 a.m
What the police heard @ 9:40, as recorded on Call #3, were shots coming in succession from an automatic, aka the Bushmaster, not the pistol that fired its only shot -- the final one.
These shots @ 9:40 were the shots all in a succession and had to have been the ones after which the 10 kids in classroom 10 made a break for it.
They were then seen about 2-4 minutes later heading for the firehouse by several people after which more gunshots [plural] are heard by a homeowner, by parents at the door, and reported by police dispatch.
Surely those writing these police reports know this as the police scanner/dispatch reports shots at 9:41, then again at 9:42, then again at 9:46 ...
and the final shot did not happen until 9:51.
Law enforcement are embarrassed by how long it took them to enter the building but by rewriting history and having him dead at 9:40 they can claim that it really didn't matter since he was dead already -- but the 911 calls, police dispatch/scanner, several firsthand witnesses, and the 10 kids from room 10 say otherwise.
<>Officer Seabrook, from an interview with him, says he/the cops with him knocked down the front to get in.<>
He must have been referring to the glass they broke in the back windows because none of the Newtown police entered through the front glass. The state police did when they arrived.
9:44:47 — Newtown officers Leonard Penna, Lt. Christopher Vanghale and Sgt. Aaron Bahamonde enter the school through boiler room door.
9:44:50 — Three other Newtown officers, Kullgren, McGowan and Liam Seabrook, enter through the rear of the school.
9:46:23 — First state police officers arrive. Lt. Michael Hofbauer, Lt. Michael Davis and Sgt. William Cario run into the building through front glass window Lanza shot out.
9:51:31 — A four-man team consisting of Cario, Davis, Chapman and Smith enters teacher Victoria Soto’s classroom and find Lanza’s body.
