Search warrants released today in the Newtown school _1_ describe an arsenal of weapons found in the home and car of shooter, Adam Lanza. NPR's Margot Adler reports the rampage during which Lanza killed 20 children, six adults, then himself _2_ only five minutes.
今天，纽敦市校园枪击案公布物证调查结果，在枪手亚当·兰扎的家中和车上发现了“武器库”。据NPR新闻的玛戈·阿德勒报道，兰扎在5分钟内便杀死校园内的20名儿童和6名成人，之后开枪自尽。
Prosecutors have made few details available, although they face pressure when the media got hold some of the information. Parts of the released search warrants are redacted. State's Attorney Steven Sedensky said Lanza killed all 26 victims with a Bushmaster rifle and took his own life with a Glock 10-millimeter handgun. He had another _3_ handgun and three 30-bullet magazines for the Bushmaster. A hundred and fifty-four spent casings were recovered at the scene. Investigators found knives, samurai swords, a military-style uniform in Lanza's bedroom, a smashed computer hard drive,a gun safe with numerous boxes of bullets, binoculars, paper targets in the clipping of an Illinois school shooting. The investigation is continuing at least until June. Margot Adler, NPR News.
检察官并未提供过多细节，不过媒体掌握了一些信息，给他们造成了压力。部分公布的调查结果经过了编辑。州检察官史蒂芬·塞登斯基表示，兰扎用一把“大毒蛇”步枪杀害了26人，行凶后用一把10毫米口径的“格洛克”手枪结束了自己的性命。他身上还有一支装有子弹的手枪和三个为“大毒蛇”步枪准备的30发弹夹。在案发现场共发现了154个弹壳。调查人员在兰扎的卧室发现了刀、武士刀和一件军事风格的制服，被破坏的电脑硬盘、装有大量子弹盒的枪支保险箱，双筒望远镜以及伊利诺斯州校园枪击案报道的简报。调查工作至少要持续到六月。NPR新闻，玛戈·阿德勒报道。

President Obama _4_ lawmakers not to allow gun control efforts in the wake of Newtown to languish."We can do better to make sure that _5 _ parents have to endure the pain of losing a child to an act of violence."Obama spoke today at the White House alongside parents of the Newtown victims. Meanwhile, gun lobbying groups, including the NRA,argued the administration should focus more on improving the mental health care system and less on restricting fire arms.
