Possible ‘Motive’ Behind Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting Revealed?
The world is still trying to comprehend why a 20-year-old would go and kill innocent children. As investigators begin to piece together, WHY, details have emerge on a possible motive.
The world is still trying to comprehend the Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut.
As investigators begin to piece together, WHY, details have emerged on a possible motive.
According to lifelong family acquaintance, Nancy Lanza, the mother of the Sandy Hook shooter, was in the process of having her son committed to a psychiatric facility before he went on a massive shooting spree.
A senior law enforcement official also confirmed that 20-year-old Lanza’s anger over his mother’s plan is being investigated as a possible motive for the Sandy Hook shooting.
“From what I’ve been told, Adam was aware of her petitioning the court for conservatorship and (her) plans to have him committed,” said Joshua Flashman, 25, who grew up not far from where the shooting took place.
“Adam was apparently very upset about this. He thought she just wanted to send him away. From what I understand, he was really, really angry. I think this could have been it, what set him off.”
It is not clear whether Nancy Lanza actually filed the paperwork to have her son committed, as those files are sealed.
Nancy Lanza reportedly volunteered with kindergartners at the school for several years.
FoxNews reports Adam “believed she cared more for the children than she did for him.”
On the day of the massacre, Nancy was Adam’s first victim. It is being reported Nancy was also good friends with the school’s principal and psychologist, both of whom were killed during the incident.
To me, there can never be a ‘motive’ behind killing innocent children and adults. It is incomprehensible.
A possible ‘motive’ is like a slap in the face to the victims families who are suffering from this callous act.
