School Shootings - Connecticut

[LadyBlue]

This is one of the threads that I hid because it didn't seem that anyone was interested in talking about these incidences. Is anyone interested now, after 20 babies were murdered in the elementary school in Connecticut? Nothing like this can happen to me, well guess what, it can and it does.

Connecticut shooting suspect drove to mother's school

The suspect in the Connecticut school shootings is Adam Lanza, 20, the son of a teacher at the school where the shootings occurred, a law enforcement official said Friday. A second law enforcement official says the boy's mother, Nancy Lanza, is presumed dead.

Adam Lanza's older brother, Ryan, 24, of Hoboken, N.J., is being questioned by police, said the first official. Earlier, a law enforcement official mistakenly transposed the brothers' first names.

Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record about the developing criminal investigation.

The first official said Adam Lanza is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

According to the second official, the suspect drove to the scene of the shootings in his mother's car. Three guns were found at the scene — a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols — and a .223-caliber rifle. The rifle was recovered from the back of a car at the school. The two pistols were recovered from inside the school.

The official also said Lanza's girlfriend and another friend are missing in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, former Jersey Journal staff writer Brett Wilshe said he has spoken with Ryan Lanza of Hoboken, who told Wilshe the shooter may have had Ryan Lanza's identification.

Ryan Lanza has a Facebook page that posted updates Friday afternoon that read that "it wasn't me" and "I was at work."

UPDATE: Weapons used in shooting were legally purchased and registered to gunman's mother, law enforcement officials tell NBC News
usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/14/15913678-gunmans-mother-owned-weapons-used-in-connecticut-school-massacre?lite

Two 9mm handguns, one made by Glock and the other by Sig Sauer, were recovered inside the school. An AR-15-type rifle also was found at the scene, but there were conflicting reports Friday night whether it had been used in the shooting.

Why the hell would any mother need to have this type of fire power inside her home? What would make her go to this extreme?

Oh dear Lord Jesus, I pray for the families of these children, for the children who looked evil in the face on Friday. I pray for the killers family who are still alive and know what their kin did to those beautiful children and their teachers and the principal and the social worker, I pray that their hearts will heal.

I pray for this country, our leaders, and I pray for those of us left behind to carry on with chaos all around us. This should be a wonderful time of the year, a time that our children can look back on with wide eyes and wonder. I am saddened that this horrific event made some of those wide eyed children desperate in their final moments on earth.

We ask why. We are bewidered by you not stepping in when something like this happens, and it shakes our faith to it's very core. All we can do is keep on praying, keep on being the light that shines showing others the way down the correct path. Please dear Lord, for those who are feeling empty, and desperate, I pray that somehow they can be directed in the right way.

Through my tears, and heartache, I still believe that you are the ruler of heaven and earth, that you can and do move mountains. Please move them in the direction you wish them to go. We are a hurtful people, please help us make better decisions not only for us, but for those around us.

In the name of Jesus Christ our savior.

Amen

Mother devoted her life to Adam Lanza – then he ended it

“She would get very upset that he wouldn’t let her hug him,” said Collins, who himself has a son with autism and would often commiserate with Nancy when the two would meet at a local bar.

“She was proud of the boys, but she would get upset about Adam not being affectionate,” he said.

Nancy would take Adam to a nearby shooting range to try to forge a bond with him, he said.

“This was something she could do to connect with her son, who couldn’t show emotions toward her,” Collins, 54, told The Post.

But that gun training turned deadly Friday, when Lanza shot his mother multiple times as she lay in her bed in their $1.6 million Newtown, Conn., home.

Gunman Adam Lanza killed himself as police closed in, shot all victims multiple times

The gunman in the Connecticut shooting rampage committed suicide as first responders closed in, the governor said Sunday, raising the specter that Adam Lanza had planned an even more gruesome massacre and was stopped short.

Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said Lanza shot himself as police entered the building.

“We surmise that it was during the second classroom episode that he heard responders coming and apparently at that, decided to take his own life,” Malloy said.

I've just begun to watch this movie about a man who has Aspergers Syndrom, it's very eye opening, and in my opinion could be what Adam Lanza suffered from, which led to the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I'm watching it on Netflix and I don't know if it's available anywhere else to be viewed online, but if I can find it, I will post the url.

Filmmaker Puts His Mental Illness on Screen

Bud Clayman in ‘OC87’

“This is not a film about hand washing,” says Bud Clayman at the start of “OC87,” adding, “It’s a film about the fear of acting on thoughts.” Mr. Clayman has obsessive-compulsive disorder — specifically “harm O.C.D.,” which involves intense anger and violent imaginings — and Asperger’s syndrome, which inhibits the grasp of social cues. This moving, penetrating documentary records his attempt to describe his conditions, confront them and learn to manage them.

Mr. Clayman, who experienced depression in high school, studied radio, film and video production at Temple University, and moved to Los Angeles after graduation, only to suffer a breakdown. (The title comes from 1987, when he had his darkest hour, a withdrawal from human interaction.) For eight years he lived at Project Transition, a therapeutic community in Pennsylvania, to receive treatment. In “OC87” he retraces those steps, and visits his parents, psychologists, an actor on “General Hospital” with bipolar disorder, and a San Francisco news anchor with O.C.D.

“My O.C.D. tells me that I must control every thought and every action perfectly,” Mr. Clayman says

I Was Adam Lanza

We don't take our rage out on you because we hate you, or because you're bad parents, or even because we're evil. We take it out on you because we know you're a captive audience. Often, you're the only audience we have.

Raw police audio of police response to the shootings

"I’M THE DEVIL!” With those chilling words, ADAM LANZA set the stage for his brutal slaughter of 26 innocents in a Con­necticut school.

“Lanza was a very bright but troubled young man who’d turned to the dark side,” said a Depart­ment of Justice insider in Washington, D.C., close to federal investigators working with Connecticut authorities.

“Investigators believe he kept a diary on his computer of all the bad things that had hap­pened to him and built up such hate in him, and why he had so much pent-up rage against his mother. His diary entries would have reeked with his need for revenge against school kids because he never fit in while he was in school.

“We believe he had also anonymously visited suicide chat rooms on the Internet, as well as other chat rooms and websites appealing to devil worshippers, computer hackers and other com­puter geeks.

“On the Web, Lanza may have re­vealed parts of his chilling plan, but not the gory extent of it. He may have dropped clues as to what he planned to do – and may have even sought an accomplice.

“A Russian-made, semi-automatic tactical shotgun was found in his mother’s car outside the school. Al­though he was a socially inept loner in real life, he was comfortable com­municating on the Web. And investi­gators believe he could have left the weapon there for an accomplice, real or imagined.

“Police fanned out around the school in the minutes after the shoot­ing, searching for an accomplice. In fact, days later they still haven’t offi­cially ruled it out. ”

Incredibly, it appears that Lanza hinted at his murderous inten­tions on a popular hacker website two nights before his rampage. The message, obtained by The ENQUIRER, was posted by a user named “iKTatjYX,” whom authorities suspect was Lanza, and stated: “I’m going to kill myself on Friday and it will make the news, be watching at 9am.”

When a respondent asked “iKTatjYX” where he was based, the reply was: “I live in Connecticut, that’s as much as I’ll say.”

Under the message was a disturbing image of the bodies of the students responsible for the 1999 massacre at Colorado’s Columbine High School, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

When he carried out the killings, “Lanza was dressed in black, similar to his heroes Eric Harris and Dylan Kle­bold,” noted the Department of Justice source. But Lanza apparently tried to cover his online tracks, smashing two computers at his home to smithereens before his killing spree, authorities say. “Those computers held all of his secrets,” said the DOJ source. “Authorities have collected all the pieces and hope to reconstruct the computers so they can retrieve the information they contained.”

Meanwhile, The ENQUIRER has learned that Lanza’s mother Nan­cy – who kept an arsenal in their home – pushed him over the edge.

“Nancy Lanza was a member of the Doomsday Preppers move­ment, which believes people should prepare for the end of the world,” said a family insider.

“She was telling Adam that the world was ending on Dec. 21, as the Mayan calendar predicted, and that’s what set him off!”

Well, even though the truth is coming out through a media source called the National Enquirer, my bet is we will find out that the Enquirer isn't far from the mark of what caused Adam Lanza to go off the deep end. I predicted this outcome, but we shall see what plays out in weeks and months to come.
