Sandy Hook Shooter's Pause May Have Aided Students' Escape

December 23, 2012|By EDMUND H. MAHONY, DAVE ALTIMARI and JON LENDER, [email protected], The Hartford Courant

As many as a half-dozen first graders may have survived Adam Lanza's deadly shooting spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School because he stopped firing briefly, perhaps either to reload his rifle or because it jammed, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the events.

A source said that the Bushmaster rifle that Lanza used in the shootings is at the state police forensic laboratory undergoing several tests, including tests to determine whether it was jammed.

1. Probably jammed.

But without further evidence that is speculation. It is good that some kids escaped.

[rdharma]

2. Fact is......

....kids escaped because this animal couldn't get his murder weapon going.

[GreenStormCloud]

3. And that is a good thing. N/T

4. This story

is more than three months old. Are there not more recent stories for us to comment upon?

[rdharma]

5. Nothing here to see.......

..... move along , folks!

6. Meggan Kelley goes after Wayne LaPierre on magazine issue!

You KNOW the tide is shifting when that happens!

7. LOL Weren't you just dissing the Courant's credibility in another thread?

Why, yes. Yes, that was you:

42. The Courant!

Buwhahahahaaa! I'll believe the "used only half the round in the mag stuff" when I see the official report. That "reporter for the Courant is just too full of shit to be considered credible.

44. "media ....has not had a great track record for accuracy"

Boy howdy, you can say that again!

Just be careful when reporters use language like "sources", "some say", etc. You know...... like FAUX News does.

8. Doubting the Courant?

Yup! But it seems they have now been shamed into using actual investigation reports rather than relying on "rumors"!

BTW - Different "journalists"....... I wonder what happened to the previous ones?

PS - sylvi, it's nice to see you hanging on my every word........ helps keep me sharp!

[sylvi]

9. Oh, so now it's different and the Courant's "sources" are credible.

Keep dancin'.

10. They probably got spanked for the "ear plugs" fiasco.

Among other things.... like the "AR-15 pulled from the trunk".



Oh, BTW - These Courant "journalists" are also full of it. The evidence of a "jam" would be shown on the markings of fallen ejected loaded cartridges and the magazine...... not the rifle!

[sylvi]

11. Just how hard is it to do this in clown shoes, anyway?

Inquiring minds want to know.

12. You tell me, gun hugger!

13. Why, what an intelligent response.

You get taken to the cleaners and then your response is an insult.
Well played.

[rdharma]

14. It wasn't me who tried to make the argument.......

......... that corrupt jails in New Orleans were proof that gun safety laws don't work.

But I understand how desperate things are getting for y'all about now!

Gun safety laws on the roll....... And no way for you to stop them!

[sylvi]

15. This thread's about an article in the *newly-reputable Courant.

*the world according to rdharma

Not New orleans. Another swing and a miss at misdirection.

17. No..... it's about how children were saved.....

....... when Lanza had to reload.

[sylvi]

20. Then why are you talking about LA jails?

Once again:

16. Wow,

3 states out of 50.
Ya, you're really on a roll.

Still, there's really no need for insults, from both sides.

[rdharma]

18. Is it an insult to say more gun safety laws coming your way?

BTW - Welcome to DU. Seems there are a lot of new "members" showing up.

[premium]

19. No.

I talking about you calling another member a gun hugger.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172117891#post12

You really thinks this helps?

BTW, you're relatively new here also.

[rdharma]

22. "you're relatively new here also"

But I'm not pushing rightie talking points.

[premium]

24. Neither am I.

But if you think I am, feel free to point them out to me.

[sylvi]

21. " Seems there are a lot of new "members" showing up."

23. And I'm not pushing "rightie" talking points.

Know what I mean, Vern?

[sylvi]

25. Authoritarianism

and a transfer of power to the police state and military sounds pretty "rightie" to me.

I'll bet you just loved the Patriot Act, the Military Commission Act. free speech zones, drones in U.S. skies, etc.

[rdharma]

26. Wrong....... try again...... nt

27. I love Fred and Eleanor!
