Newtown gunman forced way into school, authorities say

NEWTOWN, Conn. - Connecticut state police say they have found evidence that will likely lead to an explanation as to why Adam Lanza, 20, killed his mother Friday then drove to his childhood school in the sleepy town of Newtown and shot dead 20 children and six adults.

Asked if investigators had discovered any notes or messages that might point to the reason behind the killings, State Police Lt. Paul Vance told a news conference Saturday that police have produced at the school and the killer's home "some very good evidence in this investigation that our investigators will be able to use and hopefully will give a compete picture as to how and more importantly why this occurred." He would not elaborate.

Authorities further confirmed Saturday that Adam Lanza forced his way into Sandy Hook elementary before starting his deadly rampage Friday.
