On December 13, 26 lives were lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School. 20 of which were children. The other six were adults, who died trying to protect the children. Who would be so heartless to take the lives of innocent children? Children who hadn't even lived their lives to the fullest or received gifts yet? Apparently, Adam Lanza (age 20) had an inhumane motive to do so. In addition to the 26 lives lost, he killed his parents, and soon after the killings, killed himself too. Family members say that Lanza had come from a bad background (and that he was homeschooled). Psychologists suspect that he had some kind of mental disorder.
According to Huffingtonpost.com, Nancy Lanza (the mother of Adam Lanza) was planning to send Adam to a "psychiatric facility". Adam did not take this well; he was very angry at his mom. Many believe that is what led to the Sandy Hook Shooting.
Even if he was angry at what his mom was planning to do, he should have just agreed to go to the facility. There, they would have taught him to control his anger. Because he didn't go, lives were lost.
