POLICE say the shooter who gunned down 20 children and six adults at a US primary school, Adam Lanza, 20, was carrying an arsenal of ammunition big enough to kill just about every student in the school if given enough time.
He shot himself in the head just as he heard police drawing near, authorities said.
"There was a lot of ammo, a lot of clips," said state police Lt Paul Vance. "Certainly a lot of lives were potentially saved."
The chief medical examiner has said the ammunition was the type designed to break up inside a victim's body and inflict the maximum amount of damage, tearing apart bone and tissue.
A Connecticut official said the gunman's mother was found dead in her pyjamas in bed, shot four times in the head with a .22-calibre rifle.
The killer then went to the school with guns he took from his mother and began blasting his way through the building.
All the victims at the school were shot with the rifle, at least some of them up close, and all were apparently shot more than once, Chief Medical Examiner Wayne Carver said. There were as many as 11 shots on the bodies he examined.
Investigators have offered no motive for the shooting. A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said investigators are reviewing the contents of Lanza's computer, as well as phone and credit card records in an effort to piece together his activities leading up to the shooting.
