Adam Lanza's murder spree at Sandy Hook may have been 'act of revenge' - Matthew Lysiak AND Rich Schapiro / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Adam Lanza's motive for the shooting rampage that tore through Sandy Hook Elementary School and left 26 people dead remains a mystery, but Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Adam's mother Nancy, is convinced Adam had been harboring resentment toward the school after being bullied for years.



Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned.

A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago.

“I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s.

“Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”

Nancy Lanza was so incensed by the school’s failure to protect her son that she sometimes showed up unannounced to watch over him, LaFontaine said.

“She was so upset that the teachers weren’t protecting him from the bullies that she went with him like a bodyguard,” said LaFontaine, who was also Lanza’s Cub Scout leader when he was a young boy.

“Adam didn’t like her showing up. She would sometimes sit in the back of the class and make sure no one would touch him.”

Emails show history of illness in Adam Lanza's family, mother had worries about gruesome images - NY Daily News

Nancy Lanza's emails, obtained by the Daily News, offer new insight in the family's medical history. She feared Adam Lanza, who killed 26 in a mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, would develop the same auto-immune disease that killed his grandfather.

...Just two weeks before the Newtown shooting, Nancy discovered ghastly and sinister pictures in her son’s room featuring dead bodies, but she did not confront him.

“One (drawing) had a woman clutching a religious item, like rosary beads, and holding a child, and she was getting all shot up in the back with blood flying everywhere,” a friend said.

“Nancy was disturbed, really disturbed, but didn’t confront him,” he said. “She wanted to think it over.”

As the world now knows, on Dec. 14, Nancy was shot dead by her son, who then killed 26 more people during a rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
