A shocking headline made the December 14, 2012 news about a massacre that happened in an Elementary School in Connecticut, USA when 20 year old young man had shot 27 people including 20 children. A separate dead body was found in a nearby house bringing it a total of 28 casualties once police found this related to the case.
The shooting started at around 9:30 in the morning according to the police. Victims were mostly children around 5 to 10 years of age. Seven of the victims were adults including the principal and the killer himself. It's yet to be identified whether the suspect was killed by himself or the police. Another dead body found in a nearby house was allegedly the killers mother. Only one person suffered an injury but survived.
The killer, Adam Lanza, was 20 year old young man who was allegedly a former student in Sandy Hool Elementary School. He was first mistakenly identified as his older brother because of the identification card he was carrying with him when he went to the School. According to investigation, Lanza allegedly shot his mother in their house before driving to his former school.
According to former classmates and friends of the suspect, Lanza was a nerdy shcool boy back in High School. He wore rather more formal clothes than normal kids his age and had a few friends. Adam Lanza was a shy but intelligent and polite young boy so investigators had to dig further on how this young man had committed such heinous crime.
Other sources told that as a kid, Adam was forced by his mother to study harder. His parents were divorced, his mother was known to be a gun enthusiast and had a collection of firearms. She even brought her children to gun shooting sometimes. Investigators found that the gunman was very accurate at his shootings.
President Barrack Obama had already expressed his condolences in the massacre, even ordered to lower the US flag to half mast.
