Adam Lanza was a 20-year-old youngster suffering from Asperger syndrome. It is a form of Autism Spectrum Disorder that affects social behavior.
Additionally, the young man was the victim of depression, anxiety, and OCD. He has been described as a “fidgety” and “deeply troubled” kid.
According to reports, the mass murder resulted due to his deteriorating mental health. Also, due to the preoccupation with deadly weapons.
Lanza is believed to have shot his mother, before the mass shooting. The weapons he used for killing belonged to his mother.
He had shot his mother four times with a .22-calibre rifle. The killer then used his mother’s car to reach the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
