Default Sandy Hook & Other Mass Shootings

Following the Sandy Hook Shooting coverage, something hit me: THERE ARE NO WOUNDED AT SANDY HOOK. ALL VICTIMS ARE REPORTED DEAD. THE SANDY HOOK SHOOTER ACHIEVED A 100% MORTALITY RATE. By comparison, in all other mass shootings there were more wounded than dead.

It also appears that all the eye witnesses who actually saw him or any of the killings have been eliminated as well. All persons interviewed in the media only "heard gunfire" and did not actually see the shooter or the shootings.


Briefly, the overview is as follows:

Sandy Hook School (2012)
Shot: 26
Killed: 26 (100%)
Wounded -0-


Aurora Theater Shooting (2012)
Shot: 71
Killed: 12 (16.9%)
Wounded: 59 (83.1%)


Tucson AZ Shooting (2011)
Shot: 14
Killed: 6 (42.8%)
Wounded: 8 (57.1%)


Columbine School Shooting (1999)
Shot: 33
Killed: 12 (36%)
Wounded: 21 (63.6%)


Stockton School Shooting (1989)
Shot: 35
Killed: 5 (14.2%)
Wounded: 30 (85.7%)


Note that the 26 victims included 20 children and 6 adults. Even if children, because of their small size, are more vulnerable to gunshot wounds, based on the statistical history of other mass shootings at least half of the 6 adult victims should have survived. None did.

Perhaps the most similar mass shooting is the infamous Columbine School event in Colorado in 1999, where two students, armed with multiple fire arms and many bombs and acting according to a long worked out plan, shot 33 classmates but still achieved only a 36% fatality rate and produced twice as many wounded as dead.

Sandy Hook is statistically out of line with all other mass shootings, where the wounded exceeded the dead, and much of the information being published would only have been known to people who are now shown to have been killed and could not have reported it.

The .223 used in this incident is not a death ray, but is identical to the weapon used in the Aurora Theater shooting which resulted in 5 wounded for every victim killed. The .223 is a reliable killer on jackrabbits and ground squirrels but is marginal on coyotes and is not legal for hunting deer.

There is another weird aspect of Sandy Hook: NO SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO HAS BEEN PRODUCED.

The school district's web site posted it's policies on security cameras and promulgated a retention period of 5 days. The only other mass killing incident I've heard of where security camera footage was NOT produced was the Pentagon on 9/11. Joe Schmoe's Liquor Store has security cam's but not the Pentagon or the Sandy Hook School!
