State police released the names of the victims of an elementary school shooting spree in Newtown, Conn. on Saturday, per the Associated Press:

All six adults killed at the school were women. Of the 20 children who were shot to death, eight were boys and 12 were girls. All the children were ages 6 or 7.

Investigators are trying to learn more about 20-year-old gunman Adam Lanza, who killed himself after the massacre.

The state’s chief medical examiner, Dr. H. Wayne Carver, told reporters the children he examined all had “three to 11 wounds apiece.”

“I believe everybody was hit more than once,” he added.
