I just have a few questions in regards to the school.
I went to newtown.sandyhook.schooldesk.net... to find out what their procedures were for an emergency such as this. Little info there, but it does say "Every visitor will be required to ring the doorbell at the front entrance and the office staff will use a visual monitoring system to allow entry". I knew that they had key cards and that visitors had to be buzzed in, but what about this "visual monitoring system", is this video? If so where is the video and why hasn't anyone demanded to see it?
Why wasn't the "security door" more secure? Was it one of those doors with the chicken wire in it? If not, why? That would have bought some more time.
Speaking of time, in what order was the call made to the police? Was it imediately after the person in charge of monitoring the "visual monitoring system" noticed the nut job with a gun, or did that person become one of the first casualties?
Was there an anouncement or alarm sounded, or did those poor defenceless kids have to wait until they heard the sound of gun fire?
It doesn't sound like there was much of an alarm, or maybe procedures were not followed.
As a parent, I have tried to compile a list of failures that I will be bringing up in a meeting with the school my children attend. I think that there may have been a lack of training or preparedness in regards to SOP in a situation like this. I'm not trying to sound insensitive or place blame, but I think that more lives could have potentially been saved. I am an advocate for preparedness. Maybe instead of taking the summer off teachers and administration should spend time at the range and practice Code Red procedures until it is second nature. If this would help, I would volunteer to help in any way that I could. It is our job as parents to do our very best to protect our children.

Does anyone know why the thread about the nun costumes got closed? Someone sent me a PM about it since he knew I was interested in the reference on the police scanner to 2 possible suspects in ski masks, one in a nun costume, in a purple van. But the thread has since been deleted.
"The caller has also stated that an unverified rumor is circulating amongst the school staff that the shooters were described to be disguised ”organized group of nuns”infiltrated the school property to carry out the shootings leaving at least 26 dead at an elementary school Friday.”"

The judge's order also covers the two other search warrants, for the 2010 Honda Civic Adam Lanza drove to the school and for Nancy Lanza's 2009 silver BMW, which was parked in the garage attached to the home.
"The court finds that due to the nature and circumstances of this case and the ongoing investigation, the state's interest in continuing nondisclosure substantially outweighs any right to public disclosure at this time," Blawie wrote.
Although no arrests have been made and "none are contemplated," Sedensky also said the possibility has not been ruled out, and that releasing the information would make it difficult to solve crimes that others might have committed. Read more: www.ctpost.com...

Hasn't been ruled out?
This is huge that the State Attorney would say other arrests have not been ruled out!
Open and shut murder spree/suicide, right?

Check out this site for the curious case of the guy who was caught stealing a gun from the same gunstore that Nancy Lanza allegedly got her guns from, and from whose hotel room they discovered another .223 rifle.
At the conclusion of the killing spree in Dublane, shooter and "lone nutterThomas Hamilton, allegedly committed suicide with not one, but two head shots from a .357 Magnum! According to information that came to light after the Cullen Inquiry, Thomas Hamilton died from two bullet wounds fired into the roof of his mouth, one bullet exiting above the left ear, and another through the top of his head. This evidence clearly points to at least one other shooter/handler on site and a covert black op behind it
