In the years leading up to the December 2012 massacre at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School, Adam Lanza went from a merely shy pre-teen to a mentally ill recluse obsessed with school shootings.
But during that long descent, Lanza never gave anyone any indication that he would one day turn a gun on his mother and then storm his onetime grade school with a semiautomatic rifle, killing 20 first-graders and six adults, investigators reported Monday.
And so Connecticut authorities closed the book on the second-deadliest shooting in U.S. history with the motive still a mystery. Lanza shot himself at the end of his 11-minute rampage, and police found no sign that he "voiced or gave any indication to others that he intended to commit such a crime himself," according to a 44-page summary of the investigation, released Monday.
"The evidence clearly shows that the shooter planned his actions, including the taking of his own life, but there is no clear indication why he did so, or why he targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School," the report states.

Why are they still dwelling on this?
“...to a mentally ill recluse obsessed with school shootings.”
Um, because the mentally ill, TV obsessed teen of today sees the glorification of this IN THE MEDIA every chance the LEFTIST GUN GRABBERS get?
Useful Tools.
Just a hunch...
So I can only assume he was a member of the Occupy movement.
That’s true...
I blame the media for sensationalizing these shootings, the entertainment industry for pushing more and more violent video games and movies for children, and the teachers unions for pushing the “affective” teaching style designed to detach children from their social and moral anchor of their parents.
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out the perp was “socially maladjusted and challenged” (PC terminology for crazy and violently deranged).
"The evidence clearly shows that the shooter planned his actions, including the taking of his own life, but there is no clear indication why he did so, or why he targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School," the report states.
Many official reports on horrendous crimes over the years; much bull obama.
Must not have any new murders that fit their template, so they rehash old ones.
Oh, fer crying out loud.
We all know damned well that the gun made him do it. Along with its high-capacity cohorts.
If only they wouldn't give out the names of these insane killers, just say a "nut case" did it, we would have so many publicity seeking maniacs doing this. Just look at how everyone still knows the name Lee Harvey Oswald fifty years after the crime.
What?
His motive was: He was a whackjob copycat wannabe.
He was just another frustrated and disappointed Obama supporter.
Assuming that was his motive, how does knowing it help in any way?
Seems like he is being remembered. Perhaps that was what he wanted.
I read the whole report and what I find disturbing was the pedophilia stuff he might have had on his compute. (Investigators can only get things off of UBS drives as he destroyed his had drive.)
I do wonder if he was sexually abused. Ho got really weird after 7th grade.
Maybe it was just a messed up kid and puberty, but I wonder if it as more.
So, how close am I?
His mother was associated with the school at one time, on a part time basis if I recall news reports at the time.
80 million gun owners could suddenly snap and start shooting each other in gun free zones. Duck!
