NEWTOWN, Conn., April 15 (UPI) — Adam Lanza, who killed 20 students and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School, was beaten by classmates when he attended the school, a family member says.
Lanza’s mother, Nancy Lanza, who he also killed before taking his own life, had considered suing the school because she thought school officials weren’t doing enough to stop the taunts and attacks, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.
She even accompanied her son to school in an attempt to catch Lanza’ fellow students attacking him, the unnamed family member said.
The relative said Nancy Lanza would ask what had happened when Adam would come with bruises and “he wouldn’t say anything. He would just sit there.”
After the sixth grade, Nancy Lanza switched him to another school.
Adam Lanza ultimately went on his deadly rampage rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14 using guns bought by his mother, who was known to take him out target shooting. He was 20.

guns are evil just as the president said. we’d all be better off if all guns were outlawed
Is this Stupd or Happy?
Just like pressure cookers.
When they come to destroy us all pacifist will say can we talk then they will shoot him, at least he will slow them down by a 10th of a second giving us time to load.
The kid had mental problems compounded by a school that did nothing about bullying and parents who did not teach their kids that bullying was wrong. It’s time that parents and schools start taking this issue seriously and put a stop to it. They have zero tolerance on aspirin in school. It’s time they have zero tolerance on bullying and teach them that it’s not acceptable anywhere because of what it does to people for the rest of their lives.
Zero tolerance is silly.
Kid was bullied and no one helped so, he used a gun to get even. But, lets blame the gun because the kid had mental problems that were not resolved.
