The state of Connecticut released search warrants today revealing Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza had photos of an apparent corpse in his house.

- Three photos of "what appears to be a deceased human covered in plastic and what appears to be blood."
- A check made out to Adam Lanza for the purchase of a firearm, written by Nancy Lanza, inside a holiday card
- A New York Times article from February 2008 about a shooting at Northern Illinois University
- A book called "Look Me in the Eye — My Life with Asperger's"

- Another book called the "NRA Guide to the Basics Of Pistol Shooting"
- Adam Lanza's Sandy Hook Elementary School report card
- Police also found copies of NRA certificates registered to Adam and Nancy Lanza, reports of which have prompted outrage from the NRA.
The Connecticut State Attorney also released a statement this morning saying that Adam Lanza's tragic shooting lasted just a total of five minutes.
