Sandy Hook gunman Adam Lanza may have envisioned himself as Norwegian bomber Anders Breivik’s mass-murder rival
Authorities investigating the Newtown, Conn., massacre say evidence suggests Lanza may have even been obsessed with Breivik, who killed 77 people in 2011, and wanted to top his murder tally.
Authorities say they have discovered evidence that Adam Lanza targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School because it was the “easiest target” with the “largest cluster of people.”
Sandy Hook Elementary school gunman Adam Lanza may have been motivated by a horrific 2011 mass shooting in Norway, as the 20-year-old plotted his own massacre.
Law enforcement officials investigating Lanza’s tragic December shooting in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children and six educators dead at the school, told CBS News that Lanza saw himself as a competitor to Anders Breivik, the deranged Norwegian man who killed 77 people in series of attacks in 2011, in a sick imagined mass-murder contest.
Two officials said evidence had been uncovered suggesting that Lanza was determined to top Breivik’s death count. The officials added that investigators had found credible evidence that Lanza was probably even obsessed with Breivik.
They also found evidence that Lanza had zeroed in on Sandy Hook Elementary School because he felt it was the “easiest target" with the "largest cluster of people."
