New details on Newtown from AP/Yahoo

Two magazines containing 70 rounds of shotgun ammo? Really? At least they got the shotgun out of the glove compartment.

Journalism... Always professional.

I'm not willing to blame incompetence for this one. Considering the agenda to demonize anything "high capacity" in the press, it's entirely possible they wrote that knowing full well it is blatantly wrong and idiotic. Anybody who knows anything at all about guns is going to call bullshit, but that's not their intended audience.

Until 2010, his father, who had divorced Nancy Lanza the previous year , had kept up regular visits with Adam, taking him hiking and going to coin shows, among other activities.

I think we need to ban divorce. That's obviously what caused this.

I think I'm the only one that is having trouble reconciling the spent shell casings(154) the empty and partial 30 round mags found(0,0,0,10,11,13). 154+34=188, or 187 if he kept one in the chamber. If he was autistic I have a hard time believing he wouldn't load all the mags the same, and really I expect that he would only load them to 30 each. Assuming he loaded them all to 31 that's 186, plus one in the chamber, there is still an extra casing. That is also assuming the police didn't miss any casings.
This seems really odd to me.

You're OCD aren't you?

Keep in mind that they also said he had a 30 rounder in the gun... So that is 210 rounds.

They said there were other magazines found that were still full but those are the partial filled and empty ones.
