The gunman who today slaughtered 26 people including 20 children used his teacher mother's own guns to shoot students in her kindergarten class during his horrific killing spree at a Connecticut elementary school, it was revealed tonight.

Adam Lanza, 20, who is said to have a personality disorder, was carrying a .223 rifle and two handguns when he entered the Sandy Hook Elementary school shortly after 9.30am and started gunning people down - after he shot his mother Nancy, 52, in her face at her nearby home.

Officials said most of the slaughter occurred in two classrooms, and one entire class is unaccounted for.
