Relatives of Adam Lanza: The organizer of the massacre at the Sandy Hook school brutally beat classmates

The 20-year-old American Adam Lanza, who shot 26 people in the elementary school "Sandy Hook" in Newtown, could himself be a victim of abuse. About this, months after the tragedy, the relatives of the killer, suffering from a slight form of autism, told reporters.

Until the seventh grade, Lanz himself studied at Sandy Hook, and his mother, who became his first victim, worked there as a volunteer. According to relatives, Adam often came home with bruises all over his body. However, when his mother asked him what happened, he didn’t say anything, the New York Daily News newspaper writes.

Nancy Lanza suspected that her son was hit at school and even thought of suing teachers who, in her opinion, turned a blind eye to physical and verbal attacks on Adam from the rest of the children. “She was convinced that the school leadership is not enough to protect Adam,” the family of the killer’s family said.

The tragic denouement occurred on December 14 last year. Armed with two pistols and rifle Adam Lanz at first shot his own mother, and then in her car reached Sandy Hook, where he shot 26 people, including 20 children aged 6-7 years, after which he committed suicide. Among the reasons that pushed the killer to the bloody massacre were a quarrel with a mother , special genes and a passion for video games .
