Gee I don't know, maybe he knocked her out with a baseball bat and then searched the home for a key or combination number to the gun closet. We just don't know.

Poor security still

Maybe she did try to defend herself with one of her guns. We just don't know.

Well, if your conjecture is true, her ultimate fate sort of refutes all those Rambo-style vigilante protectionist fantasies that are all the rage amongst the gun nuts, doesn't it?

Will you say the same if your own child is one of the 20 kids?

NP here. I don't know, but none of us is the parents of those kids. Grieving parents have the excuse of drawing judgment before all the facts are known.

What's your excuse? Or are you another of the crazy DCUMers who has convinced themselves is affects them as much as it does the families of the victims?

Has any DCUMer actually said this? There are varying degrees of sadness, you know. I seriously doubt that anyone here would claim that they are as anguished as a victim's family member. I'm sure that there are a lot of people, myself included, who are upset by this tragedy.

Really? Bolded PP above sure does seem to be going out of his or her way to apologize for a woman who owned military assault rifles.

Not apologizing for her, but noting the multiple layers of tragedy. By all appearances, it seems that Nancy Lanza cared deeply for her troubled son, and I cannot imagine what it must take for a mother to be placed in a situation where she would have to pull a gun on her own child, and then to be killed by him using a weapon you purchased with the assumption that, if used, it would be used against a stranger.

Well, I don't mean to sound heartless, but she kind of placed herself there, didn't she? I'm sorry, but I'm still not over the fact that she knew her son had serious issues and yet taught her son how to shoot military assult rifles and kept them in her home. Hindsight is 20/20, conjecture is bullshit, and bleeding hearts for this woman won't bring back the 26 other people her deranged son killed.

She was shot in her bed.

Has anyone reported that there was a shoot out at the house? All the news reports are saying the mother was shot while in bed sleeping.

And how does it "seem" that way pp? It seems as though she did not know how to care for him, and completely lost sight of the issues he had. Who would teach a troubled child how to shoot an assault rifle and again, store them in her home with this child?

She seemed like she had issues herself which ultimately contributed to her demise and the deaths of 26 innocent people.

Certainly seems like she was the ultimate do-it-yourselfer. Her son had issues since he was a child and not one doctor or therapist or any other professional has come forward only people from the school he attended.

Privacy laws--and the case is still under investigation so any medical records would probably be part of this.

I agree that she should not have taught her kid how to use guns. But she cared for her child in other ways, did she not? She tried different educational settings for him, she fed him, clothed him, and kept him at her home even as an adult.

Given that the father had joint custody, why haven't we focused more attention on him? It seems to me like the mother bore the brunt of rearing her son, which must have been extremely stressful, whereas the father seemed to serve mostly as a bank.

He's dead. Are dead mass murderers still protected under HIPPA?

My understanding is, the house was located in a remote area, and it wasn't even visible from the main road.

They divorced when their oldest was 20, and the youngest 16 so it is very possible that the father paticipated in child rearing.
