FBI releases Sandy Hook school shooting investigation documents
Interesting read. Apparently the mother had been concerned about Lanza a month before the shooting. A lot of blame had been placed on the mother for leaving guns around Lanza, but I'm not sure your son "being a shut in" is reason to believe he is going to go on a shooting spree killing 20 children and 6 adults. Maybe keeping guns around him wasn't wise, but I wonder if in the moment we needed anybody to blame to explain the tragedy.
The FBI released more than 1,500 pages of heavily-redacted documents Tuesday related to the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting the files shedding light on the relationship between gunman Adam Lanza and his mother prior to the deadly massacre.
The documents, posted on the federal agency's archive page, on the rampage in Newtown, Conn. that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead, include redacted grand jury subpoenas and reports by agents who interviewed people about Lanza.
In one interview, an unidentified person told an FBI agent that Lanza's mother, Nancy, was concerned about him a month before the shooting because he had become a "shut in" who hadn't gone anywhere in three months.
"Nancy Lanza told her son, Adam Lanza, had not left his bedroom in three months, and that despite the fact that Nancy and Adam lived in the same house, Nancy has only been able to communicate with Adam by email," an investigator noted.
