[Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, Connecticut’s chief medical examiner] said that in the seven autopsies he himself had performed, the victims had from 3 to 11 wounds.
With the examinations complete and the families informed, the authorities released the names of those killed.
They ranged in age from 6 to 56. Among the children, there were 12 girls killed and 8 boys. All of the children were in the first grade, officials said, and all were 6 or 7 years old. One little girl had just turned 7 on Tuesday.
This is gut-wrenching. Many people in Australia are praying for the community in Connecticut and grieving with them.
