The full 6,500 page Sandy Hook report released Friday afternoon sheds new light on exactly how the tragic school shooting took place and the events leading up to the Dec. 14. tragedy.
While the shooter, Adam Lanza, lived with his mother in the same home, in an interview with one of Nancy Lanza’s close friends, we learn that Adam “had not left his bedroom in three months” and that “Adam had no emotions or feelings,” according to Nancy, and that “Nancy had only been able to communicate with Adam by email.”
The report includes a birthday card that Peter Lanza sent to his son, inviting Adam to go shooting or hiking.
Police also found a Christmas card from Nancy to Adam, with a check to buy a new gun.
On the night before the shooting, Nancy Lanza returned home from a three-day trip to New Hampshire.
At one point, in a text message to a friend, she said, “she and Adam planned for her trip to New Hampshire. The trip was an experiment to allow Adam to stay at home alone for a few days.”
She told another friend that Adam: “Had gotten weirded (sic) out by Hurricane Sandy” and that friend told the FBI that “Nancy was not afraid of Adam, but was afraid FOR him.”
It’s that same friend who connected Nancy to Sandy Hook Elementary School, telling FBI agents that Nancy: “does a lot of volunteer work at women’s shelters and schools, including at Sandy Hook Elementary School.”
But the friend did follow that by saying that she did not think Nancy had volunteered there for a long time.
The friend also asked some of her own questions aloud about the shooting, mentioning the school’s behavioral therapist, special education teacher and psychologist and saying she: “wonders if Adam knew those people and targeted them” and that she also “wondered if the classroom that Adam shot children in was one of his former classrooms and if he went into the school with a plan.”
