Adam Lanza Photos: New Images, Details on Sandy Hook Shooter Emerge

Several photos of Adam Lanza, accused Newtown, Conn., school shooter, have emerged, along with information about the troubled youth's past.

Adam Lanza was spending more time alone in the months leading up to the mass shooting as his mother, Nancy Lanza, encouraged him to be independent.

He suffered from mental disabilities, a joint Hartford Courant/Frontline investigation reports in a new documentary, entitled "Raising Adam Lanza."

The Lanza documentary airs Tuesday night on PBS. In it reporters from the Courant attempt to retrace the steps taken by Nancy and Adam in recent years.

What they found complicates the picture that has occasionally appeared in the media of Nancy as a gun obsessed mother who was in denial about her son.

Adam is believed to have shot his mother four times in the head as she slept on December 14 before shooting his way into Sandy Hook Elementary.

There, he killed 20 children, six women and himself.

Sandy Hook conspiracy theories aside, all evidence points to the fact that Lanza acted alone. The question is why, and if anyone could've seen it coming.

The 20-year-old had been spending more time alone in his mother's home in the affluent Connecticut suburb in the months leading up the shooting.

Adam's social world began shrinking after he left Newtown High School at age 16 to enroll in a nearby college, where he made As and Bs before withdrawing.

Since 2010, Adam had not attended school.

Between 2010 and 2012, Nancy took Adam to gun ranges to practice shooting. She purchased four firearms, including one used in the attack, during that period.

Friends say Nancy used that as a way to bond with a withdrawn son. Police also found thousands of dollars worth of violent video games in the Lanzas' home.

Police believe Adam may have been inspired by the video games, since he changed the magazines of his weapons more frequently than was necessary.

Adam may have been "competing" with Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik, based on news articles about Breivik's 2011 crime they found in the home.

    Who in the WORLD is in charge of writing these articles? This is the third one I’ve read via YOUR site and coincidentally, the third I’ve read that makes me cringe! No, I’m not cringing due the contents, but rather the grammar and strange use of vocabulary in the weirdest of places. Do y’all not have a proof-reader and editor employed there? The word “approximately” is used repeatedly yet, is in the wrong context and used inappropriately as well. That fact alone makes the whole article ridiculous! Gah!
    Employ me! I’ll at least make the articles accurate, easier to digest and interesting. Proof-reading and editing are just two very necessary jobs required in the journalism and reporting field, you know?
    Sincerely I say to you: FIX THIS! You’ll CONTINUE to LOSE your audience/fans/followers, if you do not correct this HUGE issue. Just some friendly and FREE advice here for ya. I sure hope you heed my warning.

    Good day to you,

    Oh my gosh, those pictures must have been taken right out of some low-budget horror-movie. You can see from a mile away that this guy has a face of a madman.
