Some 6 and 7-year-old victims of the Newtown school shooting were shot up to 11 times at close range with a semiautomatic rifle, according to Connecticut's chief medical examiner. The 20 children and 6 adults killed were all shot more than once.

According to the New York Times, the state’s chief medical examiner, H. Wayne Carver II, said the victims had bullet wounds "all over, all over."

“This is probably the worst I have seen or the worst that I know of any of my colleagues having seen,” Carver, who is 60 and has been Connecticut’s chief medical examiner since 1989, told reporters.
