On Tuesday the FBI released more than 1,500 pages of documents related to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in December 2012.
The documents were heavily redacted and focused on the relationship between shooter Adam Lanza and his mother before the massacre took place, Fox News reported. Twenty first-graders and six staff of the school were killed in the attack, and Lanza’s mother was shot in their home before Lanza went to the school.
The documents detailed Nancy Lanza’s concerns about her son, including a witness’ statement that Nancy Lanza said Adam hadn’t left his room in three months and would only communicate with her by email even though she was in the house with him, Fox News reported.
Other details included Nancy Lanza’s turning down a marriage proposal because she wouldn’t move and leave her son, and that she had to stay in their house with him without electricity for several days because he refused to leave the house and stay in a hotel.
The reports also said that Adam Lanza had hacked into a government computer system when he was in ninth grade, leading the FBI to visit the home, Fox News reported.
Also reported was that Lanza was a vegan, that he was bullied “but not excessively” at school, and that he was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome prior to the shooting.
A final investigative report by state police detailed that Adam Lanza had become obsessed with firearms, death, and stories of mass shootings, but that no specific motive for the Sandy Hook shooting could be determined, NBC News reported.
