Newton gunman blasted his way in, says Connecticut Gov. Malloy
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/12/16/newton-gunman-blasted-his-way-in-says-connecticut-gov-malloy/
The gunman in the Connecticut school massacre that left 20 small children dead blasted his way through a locked glass door, climbed through and proceeded with his killing spree, the state governor said on Sunday.
