Sandy Hook Shooting Mainstream media claims that Sandy Hook shooting was a massacre and an intruder at the school took many children’s lives that day. But there has been strange behavior and evidence that the shooting was a hoax, planned and acted by the government so people would be persuaded to believe that guns are the problem. Therefore, the government would try and take away our second amendment rights. Friday December 14th, 2012 mainstream media shared a terrible story that happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. A gunman, Adam Lanza, killed twenty children within the ages of five to seven. Six adults were killed and two others were wounded. Officials say they don’t know the reasoning behind the mass killing but investigators found that someone had reported that, “Adam had an altercation with four other staff members at the school just a day before the shooting” (Staff). Three out of four of those people were shot the next day in the massacre. Ryan Lanza, Adam’s brother, said, “Adam had a history of mental problems” (Staff). Lanza’s mother, Nancy was found shot dead at her home, investigators believe that Lanza killed her before the school shooting. He then killed himself after killing all twenty-six people. Nancy Lanza was apparently a gun collector. Adam used her semi-automatic AR-15 rifle made by Bushmaster and pistols made by Glock and Sig Sauer. Lanza used an assault weapon to shoot at an entrance to get into the school. Before breaking into the school Lanza shot up a teacher’s car, Lauren Rousseau, along with several other cars. The question has been whether or not she was targeted. He killed the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary and the school psychologist in the front office and then proceeded to Ms. Rousseau’s class. “Fifteen of her sixteen first graders were shot several times and killed and the teacher shot as well” (Wikipedia). Investigators are now wondering if
