Sandy Hook Shooting Photo Essay

This photo essay presents some of the lesser known photos and screen captures from documents provided in the Sandy Hook Shooting final report as well as some factual context to go a long with the photos.

This photo shows paramedic equipment contrasted with a small child's back pack; a striking reality of the Sandy Hook school shooting..  The cardiac machines were used as part of the formal Presumption of Death protocols ordered by the supervising physician, Dr. Broderick, in accordance with Connecticut State Law.  Other paramedic equipment, including a tactical helmet, can be seen in the distant background. Since this equipment became  part of the crime scene, police did not allow paramedics to immediately remove their equipment when they completed the formal procedures. .

This screen cap and the one below clearly shows the outline of the feet of Nancy Lanza under her blankets as she lay deceased in her bed at home. She was shot four times in the head with a .22 rifle.  All four shell casings were recovered.

In this photo you can see one of the victims; likely Mary Sherlach (based on the clothing as reported by the Final Report).  The white board was placed in front of the bodies of Hochsprung and Sherlach by CSP to hide them from exiting children (CSP Final Report).

Some photos showing the shooter laying dead in Room 10 of a self inflicted gunshot wound. He is described as in the "Fetal position".  A police rendering is in the Room 10 sketch below.

Shooter's knees can be seen on the right side.

A drawing showing the body positions of the victims in Room 10 and the shooter laying near the doorway.

Some blood on the door of Room 9.   Lead Teacher Natalie Hammond leaned against this door 
after she was shot.  The 911 call from a parent in this room with her lasts nearly 20 minutes.

From the shooter's closet; the same type of ear plugs he wore during the shooting.

The silver key is the type of key used to open the make of gun safe found in the shooter's gaming room..
It is noted that this key is not attached to a key ring and is in the immediate
possession of the shooter.  The logical conclusion is that shooter obviously had unfettered access to the guns.

(Thanks for the assist Reed!)
The ammunition is high grade ammunition, consistent with online discussions he had.

This photo depicts a drum magazine for the Saiga Shotgun found in the shooter's car at Sandy Hook.
  Also shown is a shotguns shell pouch, and 12 gauge shotgun shells.
Unusual is the green .410 gauge shotgun shell inside the box since there was no .410 shotgun mentioned in the report.

The shooters gun cleaning kit bordered on absurd.  This kit did not represent a weapons aficionado
but rather the minimum needed for his shooting mission.

Blood coated barrel of the rifle. The blood was Nancy Lanza's.
One of the four head shots was point blank range through the bifurcation of her eyelids.
CSP Final Report

This article found in the shooter's desk discusses the 1891 school shooting by James Ferguson.
He fired a shotgun several times into a group of children in a school yard, wounding several.

Bookmarks, presumably by Nancy Lanza discussing Aspergers Syndrome, depressive disorders,
and obsessive  compulsive traits.

New York Times article from Feb. 2008 discussing the Northern Illinois University Shooting.  Five were killed and twenty one injured. The shooter carried a shotgun, a Glock, and two .380's including a Sig Sauer

Silent Hill 2 is a horror slasher survival game

More violent video games from the 1990's leading one to speculate if the shooter wasn't
exposed to extremely violent video games at a very young age by his older brother Ryan.

The book is about American homes haunted by ghost. Several boxes of legos.
The shooter was an avid fan of legos.

A cartoon about the adventures of children, "Rugrats" along with violent horror movies.
The shooter was a fan of puppet videos, weird children's shows, and psychological horror movies. 
Other interests included mass murder, pedophilia, chimp society, hamsters, and guns.

The shooter and Ryan Lanza

Sandy Hook hoaxer leadership contends that there are no photos of the shooter and his brother Ryan Lanza together as their proof the shooting was a "hoax".  There are several photos that clearly show that Ryan and the shooter are two are different people and in fact shown together.

The shooter owned several pair of the Nunn Bush shoes.

It is speculated the Shooter wore gloves when handling the ammunition.

The BMW

Hoaxers contend there is no way Nancy Lanza could have driven the BMW because it is "clean".

As proof hoaxers cherry pic photos. The car was not clean, as the photos clearly show.

Nancy Lanza - Alcoholic
"When she drank alone, she preferred to drink by herself."

In addition to failing to obtain proper mental health care for shooter, not following up or complying with medications for the shooter, purchasing the shooter numerous violent video games, and of course purchasing the shooter a deadly arsenal of firearms and vast quantities of person shooter ammunition which she allowed him to store in his "Guns and Gaming" room, SandyHookFacts.com has no doubt that Nancy Lanza was a raging alcoholic who drank significant quantities of alcohol, alone in her home. A decorating theme of the home was alcohol.  This combination of parent had disastrous results for the town of Newtown.
