Adam Lanza had never been a student at Sandy Hook elementary, as initially reported, nor had his mother Nancy had anything to do with the school.



As yet there has been no confirmation of any mental health diagnosis, and police have indicated he had no criminal track record.



Lanza attended on a part-time basis Western Connecticut State University in the adjacent town of Danbury, where his academic record was described as "medium to not very good". He dropped out before completing his studies, and after that appears to have been relatively adrift, with no employment or further education and living at home with his mother.


The one thing that he did appear to excel at was computer sciences, in which he drew an A grade at university. There is some evidence that Lanza's interest in computers extended to gaming. He was an occasional customer of GameStop in Danbury.


Nancy Lanza owned at least five guns, including the four that were found at Sandy Hook school. Among them was the Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle that was used to carry out most of the killings, and two high-powered handguns, all of which were equipped with high-capacity magazines holding 30 rounds.


Nancy frequented pistol ranges and is known to have taken her son on target practice at least a few times.


There are 36 gun shops and shooting ranges within a 10-mile radius of the Lanza's home, where his mother became the first of his victims, shot with one of her own weapons.
