little is known about adam lanza. freshman in 2007, lanza seemed so vulnerable the former school security director at newtown high school tells cnn he warned his school officers to keep an eye on the child so he would not be picked on or bullied. lanza was also assigned to a school psychologist, says the security director. the lanza joined the tech club he remained withdrawn. in 2008, age 16, lanza enrolled anderson cooper a student at western connecticut state university, 15 minutes from his home, taking among other classes german, computer science, american history, and macro economics. he dropped out in 2009, and did not return. lanza's high school friend ran into nancy lanza a few years ago, he says the mom described adam as doing well in college and told him he had taken him shooting as a hobby and liked to go to the gun range. what was interesting, nancy lanza was doing everything she could to mainstream her son. he clearly had issues but she was trying to keep things as normal as possible and getting him to dif

now, adam lanza's late mom, nancy lanza, owned a house in new hampshire. we were told she often talked about going there. she maintained the property and relatives of her there, who have apparently been in contact with her, had been in contact with her, are about to tell us what light they can shed on this. so we'll just have to wait and see what they say. but we've learned quite a bit more about the lanza family today. we know that the -- we talked to a friend of nancy lanza's, who talked about how she was an avid gun collector, an enthusiast, even had a passion for guns. used to go to local shooting ranges and even take her two children there, ryan, who's now 24, and adam lanza. so -- and we also know, of course, that the guns that adam lanza used to shoot those children, were registered to the mother. we know that adam lanza, on tuesday, had tried to buy a semi-automatic rifle at a local dick's sporting good store. didn't want to go through the waiting period, so the sale never within the through. but he was able to use one of those rifles the that his

and in an hour, adam lanza went from obscurity to infamy. authorities overnight were questioning family members of the 20-year-old killer. a man believed to be adam's older brother, ryan, left a new jersey police station, as authorities sought to figure out what turned the youngest member of the lanza family into a madman. >> we'll go backwards as far as we have to go in this investigation. and hopefully we'll stumble on answers. >> reporter: federal agents say they recovered two high-powered pistols from the scene, and a semiautomatic rifle, called a bush master, similar to this one. both adams mother and father were licensed to own such weapons, according to federal agents. >> these crimes involve planning and thoughtfulness and strategizing, in order to put the plan together. so, what may appear to be snap behavior, is not that at all. >> reporter: even before the shooting, adam lanza, seen here in a photo taken seven years ago, was known in the neighborhood as a troubled child, with an overbearing mother. >> my son played with him when th

investigators are looking into whether that person was indeed adam lanza. forced his way into the school friday morning. he was not let inside voluntarily. we are also waiting for officials to release the names of those who died in the attack. that includes the 20 children and six adults killed at the school. >>> i'm going to check in again with msnbc's chris jansing in newtown for us. so we are awaiting that news conference. any word on when that might happen or police releasing other information in advance of it, chris? >> reporter: well, we know thought was scheduled for noon which was more than an hour and a half ago. now we're raising some questions about whether it will happen at all. this is the way it has been. you can imagine the confusion that is still going on as police are trying to piece together the information to make sure that what they talk about is correct. we did just as you saw hear from senator blumenthal. other officials have been around. but in terms of the actual investigation and releasing of the names, that is going to come from sta

>>reporter: kraft was only a year older than adam lanza's older brother, ryan. he says their mother told him to let ryan do whatever he wanted. but as for adam: >> what i really remember clearly is that nancy always asked me to always be with him in the room, no matter what- like 'don't go to the bathroom, don't ever leave him without supervision.' >>reporter: kraft says adam had a contentious relationship with his mother, nancy. she'd split from the boys' father, peter lanza-- who's described by the job-networking website 'linked-in' as tax director and vice president at g-e energy financial services. but kraft says nancy lanza was an engaged mother- always setting up play-dates for her two sons and taking part in neighborhood activities. neighbors and friends say nancy lanza enjoyed gardening and had taken time off from a job in finance. >> she was like a normal, anybody else in this neighborhood. you know decorate the house, the house was always, you know, pristine. i mean she was just like any other housewife. >>reporter: but like her son, there are gaps in n

according to the connecticut post which first broke the story and has this latest development on adam lanza's interest in the military. maryanne, thank you for taking the time of i can you spoke to one of nancy lanza's good friends. she told you adam was interested in joining the military. what was about it the military that made him interested? >> reporter: i think he had, what we're piecing together from ellen and other sources is that he had a fascination for a long ways back with things military-related. military equipment. he was a very, very bright young man. and when he first expressed that interest which was around the time he was ending his course work at western connecticut state university, initially his mother was very supportive of the idea and that's what several sources have told me. she was initially very supportive of it because it would have given him organization, structure, a career path even. and he was a very, very bright person. but as time wore on and she thought about it more and what she knew about her son, she realized this might not be the best path for him. >> why

the shooter, identified as 20-year-old adam lanza. cy lanza worked at the elementary school. it is believed lanza first shot and killed his mother at her newtown home before driving to the school in his mother's black honda, carrying two semi automatic pistols and an assault rifle. 24-year-old ryan, lanza's brother, was taken in for questioning by police. he has since been released. officials say he is not a suspect. at 3:15, a visibly shaken president obama addressed the nation. at times finding it hard to remain composed. >> they had their entire lives ahead of them. birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. >> the president echoing the grief and emotion of a nation at another smalltown rocked by violent tragedy. >> it was awful. excuse me. i mean, these are 20 people the week before christmas that just lost their joy. >> evil visited this community today. and it's too early to speak of recovery. but we're all in this together. >> and that was nbc's lester holt reporting from connecticut. we are expecting a police briefing

that year was the last time adam lanza saw either his father or his brother, ryan. those who knew adam say he had behavioral issues, needed constant supervision and didn't respond to physical or emotional pain. >> if he had cut himself or hurt himself, he would not know it or feel it. so, we were being very, very careful with him. >> police are still having trouble finding a motive in all of this. a computer taken from adam lanza's home in newtown was badly damaged. investigates say they found, quote, significant evidence in that house that lanza shared with his mother before killing her. >>> in light of the tragedy, americans are talking once again about gun control. a new abc news poll found that 54% of americans favor stricter gun control laws. and more than half say the shooting reflects broader problems in our society, not just one troubled person. one leading democratic senator says, this may be the tipping point. but another lawmaker says, more guns are the answer. >> i don't know anyone in the sporting or hunting arena that goes out with an assault rifle. i d

he has been confirmed to us as adam lanza. 20-year-old man from hoboken, new jersey. his brother, ryan, at that address in new jersey, taken in custody by authorities. we are told ryan lanza questioned. adam lanza the shooter who killed himself at the scene. we are told there is a secondary scene in new newtown, connecticut, police went to the scene, went in the house. aapparently backed out and sent in a robot and located a body in that home. there is still confusion about who that person is who was locatlocated in secondary scene. we haven't been able to confirm. i've been told by sources that the mother was in fact killed. we can't confirm that is it the mother's body inside that home. the mother is a teacher. apparently that was her kindergarten class. we're hearing that the kid went to the school to target his mother and killed every single kid in her classroom. as well as other adults inside that school. horrific scene that played out in the quiet community. 60 miles east of new york city. in a very affluent community. the folks here are stunned. this isn't the t

we are learning more about the gunman, 20-year-old adam lanza. he forced his way into sandy hook elementary school friday morning, killing 20 children and 6 adults before turning the gun on himself. law enforcement officials believe lanza took two handguns and an assault-style rifle to the gun, all of them legally purchased by his mom, lanza. early reports indicated nancy lanza was a teacher at sandy hook elementary, now information reveals she had no link to the school. her son adam shot and killed her before heading to the school. lanza's aunt, marsha lanza, had not seen his nephew since he was 3, but did keep in touch with nancy lanza, and she offered insight into their home life earlier today. >> i know she eventually wound up home-schooling him. she battled the school district. in what capacity, i'm not certa certain, if it was behavior or learning disabilities. he was a bright boy. >> i'm joined now by michael, what else do we know about the lanza family tonight? >> as you mentioned, we know nancy lanza was this avid gun collector. one frien

perhaps the secrets that adam lanza wanted no one to see. ross, abc news, new york. >> perhaps further proof how premeditated this thing was, that he took the time to damage that hard drive. >> he mentioned a former adviser said he had a bizarre condition where he had the inability to touch and feel and empathize with anything. another neighbor and classmate said adam lanza had been a weird kid since we were 5 years old. as horrible as this was, i can't say i'm surprised. why didn't anybody reach out? so many of these kids that are loners and we know they're possibly going through a tough situation, people need to reach out to them. and befriend them. >> hopefully the gun control/ mental health debate this country is about to have will answer some of those questions. >>> older students in newtown returned to classes today, but those who attended sandy hook elementary itself are still waiting for their new school to get ready. administrators have not decided when classes at nearby chalk hill school will begin, but students will get a chance t

y wa the shoot ares name is adam lanza and the father was dead. and thoothat is not true. as we know now. and on the air, first heard that there might be two shooters on the scene and we later learned at least according to the reports now that that is not true. >> in the early part of these investigations. there might be multiple phone call to 911 and you get differing descriptions and i suppose that's the reason that they thought were tootwo -- two shooters. adam lanza carried the id of ryan lanza who is four years old and apparently according to the media reports has not actually spoke tone his younger brother in about two years. i have to presume that that was by design. he wanted to help confuse law enforcement as to the identity of the man they were looking at. and especially in the age of twitter and book bock. a lot of information came out from those sources and it was not necessarily accurate. >> right. >> we struggle to get the best information that we can to our viewers in a situation awful like nthank you very much it is one of the questions that so many of us a

said adam lanza stopped visiting him and cut off all conversation with him in 2010. that was around the time that peter lanza began dating his new wife. according to divoce documents obtained by nbc news, peter lanza paid his ex-wife nancy just under $200,000 in alimony in 2012. friends say nancy lanza had not been working in recent years. the "new york times" is reporting adam lanza had, quote, no connections to the school where friday's massacre occurred. >>> students in newtown, connecticut are returning to school this morning for the first time since the shooting massacre. meanwhile, more families will hold funerals. nbc's danielle leigh joins us from newtown. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. just over my shoulder, you may be able to make out a christmas tree marking the memorial that has become the focal point of this little town. it's something those going to class today will drive by, and it will be a reminder that some thing also never be the same. each day long lines of cars bring thousands of tearful mourners to this little town. t

investigators spent the day at the home of 20-year-old adam lanza, sweeping the house for evidence of motive. behind the rampage in which 20 children were killed and seven adults, including his own mother. there are also new details tonight about nancy lanza's whereabouts in the days before the shooting. deborah fayerick is live outside the home tonight. what has happened there tonight and today? >> it's rather remarkable because the major crime squad has been here all day and as we push into the house, lights are on in the top and bottom floor. now, they brought back the mobile crime lab and they're processing this crime scene. investigators have not retrieved any information from the damaged computer, the one that gunman is alleged to have smashed into pieces. the hard drive so damaged the fbi is having a difficult time getting any data. so what investigators are doing now, about half a dozen of them in the house. they're going through all documents, files, medicine cabinets. earlier today, we did see them bring out a large box and brought it into the that mobile crime lab. that's a

the reason for some of this confusion may have stepped because the shooter adam lanza was carrying ryan lanza's id. residents in hoe coboken are re on edge thinking a mass murderer may have been living among them. >>> it was scary swung that could act like this is living amongst you, you are walking probably in the same neighborhood. i don't know the person personally but obviously probably crossed paths from time to time. that's awful. >> the fbi says the brother and the father have been cleared and possibly may be on their way back to connecticut. that's where peter lanza lived he lived with his mother -- father in stanza. mother has been cooperating with police and has mentioned his brother adam possibly did have a personality disorder and mild autism. >>> we thank you very much. not too long ago the principal at sandy hook school sent a letter to parents saying we are installing a new security system. going forward what you have to do is buzz the doorbell at the front of the only access point in the school, the front door. all of the other doors awere going to be locked. according t

adam lanza's brother was questioned for hours tonight and released later tonight.ey now believe that adam lanza acted on his own. >> reporter: pete williams, thank you so much. i wanted to bring in the fbi profiler and james fox, the professor at northwestern university. and james, let me start with you, the question everyone has is why. does any information we're learning about the gunman give you any real clues. >> well, it does, this is somebody who planned very well what he was going to do. the weapons, what he was going to bring, what he would wear. not somebody who just snaps and has all of this ammunition in his car. this was an act of revenge, now, that may have been targeted to his mother, but also, by proxy. after all, he allegedly killed his mother, and all of those young children whom she loved. but the location of the crime was not random. >> reporter: clint, you and i were talking earlier. and it is just so hard to even fathom that somebody would go into an elementary school. we're talking about five and six and seven-year-old kids. i mean, what do yo

he is 20-year-old adam lanza. last night, our piers morgan got insight on lanza from a former classmate. >> he was really quiet, he kept to himself. he was a little fidgety, a little uneasy sometimes if you were to look at him. i think he was just socially not really into going out there and making as many friends as everyone else was doing in elementary school and middle school. preferred to stay to himself. >> reporter: adam lanza's body was found in the school. his mother's body was found at the home they shared about 2 1/2 miles from here. that is where our mary snow is standing by this morning. mary, the area that you are in, big houses, it's a prosperous area, a quiet area. there aren't even street lights around you. the only lights you've got are the ones provided by our lights. this is not something that area's used to. what do we know now about the area and adam lanza? >> yeah, ali, we -- it's believed he did live with his mother and that house is behind me on this quiet road which is now closed off by po
