Adam Lanza: A 'Quiet, Odd' Loner Living On The Fringes
Hartford Courant ^ | 12/15/12 | JOSH KOVNER and EDMUND H. MAHONY,

-snip-

Adam Lanza had lived with his mother in the 4,000-square-foot, $700,000 house. His parents were divorced in 2009.

He had two bedrooms that were clean and orderly when law officers swept into the house after the shootings Friday morning. Lanza apparently lived in one of the rooms and kept his computer gear and other items in the other one, the sources said. Law officers found evidence that Adam Lanza played graphically violent video games, the sources said.

New story just posted on Yahoo: Lanza shot himself when he heard the police arriving. If ever there was a confirmation for the Second Amendment, here it is in black and white.

Can’t argue that. You pretty much hit it out of the park.

maybe he shot the little ones because they resembled the targets in his video games.
They haven’t released any info on the mom as they just finished the exam today.How do you know she was shot in the face?

I’ve tried to stay away from the Libor speculation until we see actual witness lists. However...

If he was in and then out of public education and has autism or Asper, maybe he was teased a lot by the other kids.

Why shoot kindergarten kids, tho - they weren't likely to be teasers...why kindergarten kids? ....

IMHO, you ask good questions and have some interesting scenario.

Shooting someone in the face and obliterating it is actually a Mob/organized crime tactic. It's an insult and actually means that the victim can't be displayed in an open casket.

He might have not known that, but the result will be the same. He wanted to insult her. Pure evil.

IMHO...what you posted.

He shot his mother in the face. Shooting her is bad enough, but obliterating her face? That sounds especially hostile.

, Shooting the mother in the face is VERY personal.

Shooting the kindergarten kids multiple times each is also VERY personal.

I read that the prinipal tried to stop him but was killed trying to stop him.

You have a loner, who is into Goth which promotes death and torture among other very dark topics, a single parent, and more than likely on psychotropic drugs prescribed by a psychiatrist and there is your recipe for this disaster.

Go back and look at some of the school shooting in the past. The perpetrators were on prescription medicine.

Instead of banning guns we need to ban the over prescribing of drugs to our youth. Also if your going to be a parent accept the job of raising your children properly.

"Shooting someone in the face and obliterating it is actually a Mob/organized crime tactic. It's an insult and actually means that the victim can't be displayed in an open casket."

I have heard/read this also.

But, with the kindergarten kids - he shot the multiple times each - reportedly 3 to 11 times each. Overkill - VERY personal and very punishing to the survivors (the families of the children? Why?)

Another mob story I've heard/read is that you don't kill your mark - you kill family, friends, anyone dear to the mark, so that the person, your mark, suffers for the rest of their lives.

I don’t think the age mattered. Proximity to entrance, principal’s office, etc. are the likely choices as to why kindergarten. Will be interesting to read the full report.

He had two rifles and two handguns. Left one rifle in the car.
