Perhaps it is because all of the victims were shot more than once, most of them multiple times with the Bushmaster rifle.

Being shot multiple times does not always mean death. In fact, it often does not. Please read my last post.

Ummm you can't compare the survivability of an adult vs a 5 or 6 year old child...

From the NY Times article that I posted about people surviving multiple gunshots

A person’s physical size does not matter much when it comes to the damage a bullet can do, the doctors say.

Mad men can still aim very well. Adam Lanza was a trained shooter.

Of course I have. Can you please provide some sort of evidence to back up your claims other then, lol?

Easy peasy.

Umm....many hundreds of rounds? The shooting lasted two minutes? And "many hundreds of rounds "were fired? Sensationalize much? Carrying that much ammunition is easier said than done. Shear weight would have made movement extremely difficult.
Carrying that much ammunition, plus 3 weapons, adding in tbe poor physical stature of Lanza, does not support your claim. Please, don't open mouth before engaging brain. I am a well conditioned 200 pound man, and would have had a hard time carrying that kind of load any distance, let alone be shooting at the same time.

Even after comparing the evidence from the other mass shootings people still come to this conclusion? Really folks? Is critical thinking dead too?

So what is your critical thinking telling you? The children aren't really dead? Adam Lanza wasn't the only shooter?
What?
