A relative of Adam Lanza said the Newtown killer was abused while he attended Sandy Hook Elementary.

The New York Daily News writes that Adam Lanza “never seemed emotionally right after his time in Sandy Hook,” according to a family member who was granted anonymity by the paper.

“Adam would come home with bruises all over his body,” the relative said. “His mom would ask him what was wrong, and he wouldn’t say anything. He would just sit there.”

At one point, Nancy even accompanied him to school to try and catch his classmates attacking him.

It’s been previously reported that Lanza may have been influenced by other mass shootings. The Newtown shooter apparently kept a huge, meticulously detailed spreadsheet of other mass murders and attempted killings.

If it’s possible to determine a motive for the massacre, there may be clues in Adam Lanza’s journals, which state police seized from the house and turned over to the FBI for analysis. But authorities say that so far no conclusions have been reached.

He kept a detailed spreadsheet about other mass killings? That's pretty fucked up. Wonder what type of information he kept in the spreadsheet

Going through trials is nothing alien to most of us it's called life. It's unfortunate that Adam had emotional difficulty but his family was charged with his care and putting him in a stressful situation was not fair to him or the town. His mother did not use good judgment in his activities or in watching for signs of changes in behavior. Just because Adam had difficulties, he knew right from wrong and NO ONE has the right to take out their lot in life on others....period.

I think it's pretty cut and dry. The kid was bullied, he became obsessed with previous school shooters, so he decided to shoot up a school himself. It's really not that hard to figure out.
