state police lieutenant paul van said today lanza still had hundreds more rounds when he killed himself as officers were closing in. >> i can't speculate what would have occurredded. that would be wrong on my part. i can tell you that the faculty, staff in that school did everything that they possibly could to protect those children. i can tell you that the first responders who got to that scene entered that school and saved many human lives. i can tell you it broke our hearts when we couldn't save them all. >> suarez: lanza's motive remains a mystery. he had no apparent connection to the school and his mother was not a teacher there as early reports indicated. the school itself is now a crime scene with no indication if or when it might reopen. >> i can't even tell you what that means. i don't know how long that will be. i'm suspecting months. at that time it's up to the town officials to determine exactly what is appropriate with that facility, with that building. >> suarez: schools in two nearby towns, richfield and reading connecticut were placed on lockdown this morning after repor
