Adam Lanza killed all 20 children, six adults then himself at Sandy Hook Elementary within five minutes of storming the Newtown school, the Connecticut prosecutor leading the investigation into the massacre said on Thursday.
He fired 154 rounds with a Bushmaster .223 caliber rifle then took his own life with a single shot from a Glock 10 mm handgun, Danbury State's Attorney Stephen J. Sedensky III said.
The statement came as authorities released a long-awaited set of court documents revealing what investigators found when they searched Lanza's home and car following the rampage. The disturbing finds included a massive collection of guns and bullets, three images of what appeared to be a deceased human covered with plastic and blood as well as a New York Times newspaper clipping about a 2008 school shooting.
The weapons found in the house Adam Lanza shared with his mother Nancy included an Enfield Albion bolt-action rifle, a Savage Mark II .22-caliber rifle, an AGP Arms 12-gauge shotgun, a black BB gun, a starter pistol, nine knives and three Samurai swords. Police also found at least 126 shotgun shells and 1,526 bullets.
Books recovered from the house included: "Look At Me -- My Life With Asperger's," "Born On A Blue Day -- Inside The Mind of An Austic Savant," "NRA Guide To The Basics Of Pistol Shooting," and a dog-eared paperback called "Train Your Brain to Get Happy."
Investigators also seized the following items from Lanza's house, according to the documents:

The applications, affidavits and returns related to the search warrants had been sealed under court order since the investigation began.
Refresh for updates on what the documents reveal.
State police and local officials privately briefed victims' families at the Newtown Municipal Center Wednesday night on how to handle the release of the documents.
"I think it reopens...it causes them to revisit the pain they felt three months ago," said Newtown Schools Superintendent Janet Robinson. "It's really too bad when we go on this path of healing to have these things that come back to us and remind us and take us back to the events again. It's hard."
Before leaving for Sandy Hook Elementary School on the morning of Dec. 14, Lanza, 20, killed his mother at the Yoganada Street home they shared. Later, as cops closed in on him at Sandy Hook, Lanza killed himself. Investigators have offered no insight into his motivation. A comprehensive State Police investigative report isn't expected to be completed until June.
Authorities have said that Lanza opened fire on his schoolhouse victims with a .223 caliber Bushmaster rifle outfitted with a 30-round clip. He was also armed with two pistols, a 10mm Glock and a 9mm Sig Sauer, one of which he used on himself.
After the shooting, investigators found Lanza's car, a black 2010 four-door Honda Civic sedan, in the Sandy Hook Elementary School parking lot. Inside, they found the 12-gauge shotgun.
All four guns found at the school were legally owned by Lanza's 52-year-old mother, Nancy, authorities have said.
A law enforcement official told NBC News last month that Lanza had collected materials on previous shootings.
Connecticut Police Lt. Paul Vance had in the past dismissed reports that Lanza had felt himself in competition with other mass murderers as "mere speculation."
The leaks upset victims' families, as well as state lawmakers, who've been waiting for details so they can complete negotiations on a wide-ranging gun-control bill.
The judge overseeing the case granted a prosecutor's request to redact certain details in the documents, including a witness' name, a telephone number and a credit card number.
