Sandy Hook

A shooting rampage in this small Connecticut town on Friday morning left 28 people dead, including 20 children killed inside their elementary school, authorities said.

The dead included the suspected gunman, whom law enforcement sources identified as Adam Lanza, 20. Police said that Lanza first apparently killed his mother, Nancy Lanza, at the home they shared in Newtown. Then he drove in her car to Sandy Hook Elementary, the school at which Nancy Lanza taught kindergarten.

In the car, authorities said, were three guns: a .223 caliber “Bushmaster” rifle and two pistols, a Sig Sauer and a Glock.

At the school, authorities said, Adam Lanza shot and killed six adults — including the school’s principal — and 20 children. They were shot in two different rooms of the school, police said.

Police were called to the school after 9:35 a.m., and officers searched the classrooms for a shooter. When they found the gunman, however, he was dead by his own hand. No officer fired a shot.

Why I Believe Sandy Hook Was Not True

Fact # 1: There was at least 2 or 3 shooters that were also in the Sandy Hook school with Adam Lanza . Some of the video was shown on television but only 1 time and have never aired again.

Fact # 2: The medical examiner claimed that the children were killed with the rifle. But the rifle was found in the truck of a Adam Lanza car. So who did all the shooting if the rifle was in the trunk of a car? and why would the medical examiner say that the children were killed with the rifle ?

Fact # 3: Emily Parker’s dad was laughing and smiling right before he gave an official interview on CNN. Let me ask you a question if you lost a child would you be laughing and smiling 24 hours after the death of your loved one?

Fact # 4: Who created the Emily Parker Fan page on Dec 14th just a few hours before the shooting. I just want to know what kind of a person makes a Facebook Fund Page while their child in in

    Adam showed an interest in violent video games. Have Adam not seen the violent video games there would have been a good chance that Adam may have not shot up the school. In america it is extremely easy to purchase firearms because of the second amendment. Adam's mother was said to have around 4 firearms in the house at the time. If Adam's mother have had a safe with a lock on the firearms or if there were stricter firearm laws Adam would have never been able to acquire one to shoot the school. Since the guns were easily accessible Adam Lanza succeeded in killing his mother and 26 other students. It was also reported that in the town (New Town) that Adam was living in at the time there were many gun owners influencing the society to also have/use guns. One problem that may have caused Adam to do what he did was enrolling Adam in the I.E.P program. This is believed to be a problem because Adam was not exposed to other children as much not seeing the culture of other children. If Adam was part of a class with more children he may have changed his…

    Although, in actuality 27 people were killed by the gunman, since he shot his mother before going to the school. Yet, only a few reports included the gunman’s mother and said 27 people were killed. The majority of the errors made by the media may have been the result of the competition between news outlets. This is common, especially due to the early 24 hours news coverage, where multiple presumptions and misleading facts can…

    Many of the officers who first responded to the shooting at Columbine, were not properly trained for what they encountered. Two of the officers traded fire with Eric and Dylan. They eventually stopped because they knew they should wait for a specially trained team. This was shown not to be a smart decision, because by the time the trained team got into the building, Eric and Dylan killed ten of the thirteen victims. After the team entered the building, they took several hours going from room to room. In this time Eric and Dylan had turned their guns on themselves in the library (Columbine Tragedy 1). The killer’s motivation was key into the investigation of Columbine. Many school shootings involve a person targeting individuals who have bullied them or they did not like. Eric and Dylan wanted something much more than that. They wanted the entire nation to know what they did. The students and teachers were just “collateral damage,” as Timothy McVeigh described. They knew that if their plan was successful they would would be nationally known. “The killers, in fact, laughed at petty school shooters. They bragged about dwarfing the carnage of the Oklahoma City bombing and originally scheduled their bloody performance for its anniversary” (“The Depressive” 1). Their plan was made easier because of their gun supplier. Mark Manes supplied Eric and Dylan with the guns they used. He was arrested in May of 1999, a month after the shooting (Hasday 18). The story was already being viewed on local television within a half hour of the shooting. In the beginning, everything was a speculation about what happened. There were countless mix-ups in what really happened. Eric and Dylan had been disposing of layers of clothing. This made them look different, which caused witnesses to believe there were multiple killers. The news coverage became viewed by millions. The Columbine shooting became…

    During October 2, 2002 a series of murders started to happen around Washington D.C area, as well as in the Baltimore area. Five shootings attacks occurred in a fifteen hours period, which continued on for another three weeks. People were surrounded by fear and authorities did not have any clues of what or why these shootings were happening. Different messages and signs were left at the scene of the crime by the killer, but still nothing solid enough to have any suspects. The shootings took places in different establishments like, gas stations, restaurants, super markets, and even near schools. Victims were selected at random, and there was not a specific gender, age group, or even an ethnicity background that was being targeted. It was determined by investigators that the killings always occurred near highways in order for the shooter to have an easy access to an escape route.

The police set up hotlines so citizens could report any suspicious activity, as well as a mailbox to receive any tips via mail. However, not enough information was gathered ( FBI, 2007).…

    The gunman, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, were reportedly giggling while gruesomely murdering everyone in their sight. They were known to draw swastikas on their clothes and school books, and considered themselves part of the misfit clique, struck on Adolf Hitler's birthday, singling out minorities and "jocks" for death. Student William Beck said the gunmen "were out to get revenge on the school for being mistreated." Many of the murdered students bodies were found by the bomb-ringed bodies of the two 18 year old suspects who took their own lives. Other bodies were found in the cafeteria, the hallways and outside the school. At least 17 bombs, some connected to timers, some in duffel bags, others connected to 4-foot-tall propane tanks were found as well. Their arsenal included bombs wrapped in nails and BB pellets, with some near the bodies of victims. They remained where they lay last night, even as a prayer service was held for the dead, as police continued to comb the bloody hallways…
