Search warrants released today in the Newtown school _1_ describe an arsenal of weapons found in the home and car of shooter, Adam Lanza. NPR's Margot Adler reports the rampage during which Lanza killed 20 children, six adults, then himself _2_ only five minutes.
今天，紐敦市校園槍擊案公布物證調查結果，在槍手亞當·蘭扎的家中和車上發現了“武器庫”。據NPR新聞的瑪戈·阿德勒報道，蘭扎在5分鐘內便殺死校園內的20名兒童和6名成人，之后開槍自盡。
Prosecutors have made few details available, although they face pressure when the media got hold some of the information. Parts of the released search warrants are redacted. State's Attorney Steven Sedensky said Lanza killed all 26 victims with a Bushmaster rifle and took his own life with a Glock 10-millimeter handgun. He had another _3_ handgun and three 30-bullet magazines for the Bushmaster. A hundred and fifty-four spent casings were recovered at the scene. Investigators found knives, samurai swords, a military-style uniform in Lanza's bedroom, a smashed computer hard drive,a gun safe with numerous boxes of bullets, binoculars, paper targets in the clipping of an Illinois school shooting. The investigation is continuing at least until June. Margot Adler, NPR News.
檢察官并未提供過多細節，不過媒體掌握了一些信息，給他們造成了壓力。部分公布的調查結果經過了編輯。州檢察官史蒂芬·塞登斯基表示，蘭扎用一把“大毒蛇”步槍殺害了26人，行兇后用一把10毫米口徑的“格洛克”手槍結束了自己的性命。他身上還有一支裝有子彈的手槍和三個為“大毒蛇”步槍準備的30發彈夾。在案發現場共發現了154個彈殼。調查人員在蘭扎的臥室發現了刀、武士刀和一件軍事風格的制服，被破壞的電腦硬盤、裝有大量子彈盒的槍支保險箱，雙筒望遠鏡以及伊利諾斯州校園槍擊案報道的簡報。調查工作至少要持續到六月。NPR新聞，瑪戈·阿德勒報道。
"Declaring shame on us if we've forgotten." President Obama _4_ lawmakers not to allow gun control efforts in the wake of Newtown to languish."We can do better to make sure that _5 _ parents have to endure the pain of losing a child to an act of violence."Obama spoke today at the White House alongside parents of the Newtown victims. Meanwhile, gun lobbying groups, including the NRA,argued the administration should focus more on improving the mental health care system and less on restricting fire arms.
“如果我們已經忘記了，這是我們的恥辱。”奧巴馬總統警告立法者，不要允許紐敦槍擊案后的槍支管控努力白費。“我們可以做得更好，以保證更少的父母因為暴力事件經歷失去孩子的悲痛?！苯裉?，奧巴馬在白宮發表講話，紐敦市槍擊案受害者的父母站在他身邊。同時，包括美國步槍協會在內的槍支游說團體認為，政府應該多去關注改善精神健康保健制度，少關注對輕武器的限制。
