    The victims died of gunshot wounds and have been classified as homicides, said H. Wayne Carver, Connecticut’s chief medical examiner. Twenty-eight people died in the massacre, including 20 students and six adults and the school, a woman at a nearby site and the gunman himself.

    The gunman used a rifle as his primary weapon, Carver said.

    Each of the bodies Carver examined were shot three to 11 times, and all the victims were shot multiple times, he said. He said he did seven of the autopsies.

    He said the children he examined were wearing “cute kid stuff.”

    We hear that Noah Pozner is Jewish and Chesed Shel Emes advocated and enabled for a prevention of an autopsy. Yehi Zichro Boruch. May his family know that Klal Yisroel is mourning along with them. May they have Nechama and see nachas and be strengthened. May all families affected by this awful tragedy be comforted as we feel their pain
