It is possible the contamination occurred in the laboratory, or while the weapons were in police custody - that is why they are looking at the chain of evidence.

......one from the shotgun in the shooter’s car...
...Page 2 of Report #1
a Izhmash Saiga-12, 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun found in the shooter’s car in the parking lot outside the school, and which was secured in the vehicle’s trunk by police responding to the scene. There is no evidence this weapon had been fired.
You all remember the footage we were spoon fed of police "taking out a mysterious long rifle from the trunk" right? well, no..that was about as fake as disney magic. if you believe the offical report, as from those incharge of this investigation, then that shotgun was PUT there by an office upon arriving at the scene for security reasons.

I was puzzling over the "shotgun" last night, when going through some of the files.
But - according to the pdf document entitled "001_009SWHondaCivicCTReg872YEO12-14-12", upon initial examination of the black Honda Civic parked in the Fire/Emergency lane, said shotgun was seen inside the vehicle, in open view.
As you, I recalled the video footage, and thought this might have been problematic to the story...but
You cleared it up for me - logically - when stating that the officer "SECURED" the weapon in the trunk.
So - later - after the search warrant had been issued - the officers had to get into the trunk to examine & seize the "secured" shotgun.

My best guess ...
When a law enforcement agency is leading an investigation (necessary for evidence control) they usually have one guy collecting the evidence (bag and tag). If that guy came in contact with the victim's DNA and wasn't careful (changing gloves, contaminated clothes, etc) cross-contamination is highly likely. The guy doing this is a small town cop. Probably not got a lot of experience.
Bottom Line: I could easily see this happening. It only takes a guy who thinks he's not leaving an extra set of fingerprints and doesn't want to use a different set of latex gloves (or only has one). YMMV

those busy doing dna evidence at sandy hook would not have the leisure time to go and do dna evidence at the second murder site

CSP-Western District Major Crime (WDMC) squad was the lead CSP unit for the entire investigation and acted as the coordinating law enforcement agency for other agencies and units of the CSP.24 The van unit processed the interior of SHES.
CSP-Central District Major Crime (CDMC) squad van unit processed the exterior of SHES, including the shooter’s car, and established the temporary morgue25 with the OCME to identify and document the decedents prior to their being moved to the OCME in Farmington.26 CDMC also attended the autopsies at the OCME and did a secondary search of 36 Yogananda Street, as well as photographing doors and locks in SHES.
Eastern District Major Crime (EDMC) squad processed the scene at 36 Yogananda Street and were the investigators for the shooting of Nancy Lanza, the shooter’s mother.
Page 14 through 15 on 1st report, others were listed but i felt these relevant..
so no, if we follow the official report then there was zero chance of initial crime scene contamination unless it occured later in a lab, even then, when are murder weapons left laying next to other seperately tagged items
also i find it funny how this thread will never see the light of day, meanwhile anytime a cat or dog dies a forum user can post a freakin RIP thread and it makes front page ats.
