I’m reluctant to write about the act of evil visited on my neighbors in Newtown yesterday… To be honest I’m a bit numb, and still trying to make sense of senselessness.<\/p>\n
I live a little more than 10 miles from the Sandy Hook Elementary School where a madman went on murderous rampage that left 20 children and 6 adults dead.<\/p>\n
There’s so much we still don’t know about happened yesterday, what we do know is this; sometime yesterday morning that 20-year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother Nancy at their home in Newtown, then drove to the Sandy Hook Elementary School with at least 3 weapons and forced his way into the school<\/a>. Once inside he shot and killed 26 innocent people and himself. One faculty member was wounded.<\/p>\n We still don’t know what motivated Mr. Lanza, but his mother reportedly pulled him out of the Newtown public school system<\/a> at some point:<\/p>\n The aunt of Connecticut shooter Adam Lanza said the shooter’s mother pulled him out of Newtown’s public school system because she was unhappy with the school district’s plans for her son.<\/p>\n Adam Lanza’s mother Nancy, 52, was the first victim of his Friday shooting spree. Lanza shot Nancy in the face and then drove her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School, where he killed 20 students and six adults before taking his own life.<\/p>\n Marsha Lanza, who is Adam’s aunt and Nancy’s ex-sister-in-law, told Evelyn Thomas of ABC-owned-and-operated station WLS in Chicago that Nancy had once been a classroom aide at the Sandy Hook school.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n His brother, Ryan, of Hoboken, NJ reportedly told police his brother had a “personality disorder<\/a>” and that he hadn’t talked to him roughly two years… Many of new reports have describe Mr. Lanza as troubled and withdrawn<\/a>. Dr. Alan Lipman<\/a>, a top Criminal Psychologist, explained on Fox News this morning \u201cEvery one of these episodes is proceeded by undiagnosed mental illness\u201d:<\/p>\n
