Some classmates said he had been bullied in high school. He struggled with a developmental disorder and was described as acutely shy, not known to have close friends.

BEFORE THE SHOOTING His mother, Nancy Lanza, a gun enthusiast, legally obtained and registered a large collection of weapons and would often take her sons to shooting ranges. DEC. 14, 2012 Mr. Lanza used his mother’s guns to kill her and 26 others."
