The gunman in America's worst school shooting blasted his way through a locked glass door, climbed through and carried out the deadly massacre, the Connecticut governor says.
Adam Lanza, 20, opened fire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday morning, killing 26 people, including 20 children.
"He shot his way into the school. The school was locked. He used a weapon to open up the glass, and then walked in," Governor Dan Malloy told ABC programme This Week.
Lanza fired "a number of rounds", Mr Malloy said.
Police had said Lanza forced his way into the school, but it was not clear he did it by shooting his way in.
"He discharged to make an opening and then went through it, went to the first classroom, as you know, went to the second classroom," Mr Malloy said.
Authorities say Lanza first killed his mother before driving to the school, opening fire in two classrooms and then taking his own life.
Mr Malloy revealed that the gunman committed suicide when he heard first responders coming.
Mr Malloy said the first call for help from the school came from someone who was wounded but survived, and that first responders were swift.
"But, you know, this - this sick fellow, you know, clearly mentally ill, killed his mother, proceeded to go on and kill a great number of people," Mr Malloy said.
British-born Dylan Hockley, 6, was among the victims of the massacre.
