This article focuses mainly on the mother, and includes some details about her behavior the past few years that shows how profoundly disturbed people can slip under the radar with the help of an unwitting enabler.

From the article:

During a search of the Lanza home after the shootings, police found thousands of dollars worth of graphically violent video games.

CBS News reported last night that Adam wanted to kill more people than the 77 slain by a man in a bombing and shooting attack in Norway in 2011. CBS cited unnamed law-enforcement sources; a Connecticut state police spokesman said the report was in no way accurate.

But CBS said Adam targeted the school because he saw it as the “easiest target” with the “largest cluster of people.” Evidence also shows Adam likely was acting out the fantasies of a video game, with each death amounting to some kind of “score,” CBS said.
