Report Should Prompt Mental Health Effort - Connecticut Post
The report also provides a grim portrait of Lanza, who holed up in his room at home much of the time, communicated with his mother only by email and was becoming increasingly isolated, and who made a scouting trip near Sandy Hook Elementary School the day before the shootings.
It also gives a minute-by-minute timeline, describes Lanza’s movements and reports that the gunman fired 154 of his 301 bullets in less than five minutes. But the report does not answer all the questions. Most notably, it does not answer the most burning one: Why did Lanza do this?
… . .Some think the summary report should not have been made public, but we agree with George Hochsprung, whose wife, Sandy Hook Principal Dawn Hochsprung, was killed in the assault, that the public is entitled to the information. And we believe the report, plus any future disclosures, may ultimately help some individuals and families in their healing process. The report might also help mental health professionals, the law enforcement community, educators, religious leaders, parents and others in how to deal with people like Lanza — a lonely, isolated young man beset with “significant mental health issues” and obsessed with mass shootings and those who perpetrated them.
