Experts analyze the motive for the murder: Life was frustrated and he killed innocent people indiscriminately (Alberta Times) On the morning of December 14, 20-year-old Adam Lanza shot his mother Nancy Lanza to death at her home in Newtontown, central Connecticut, and then armed herself with a live ammunition. Then he broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School 2 miles away, killing six staff and 20 first-grade students aged 6-7. People are asking why Adam Lanza ruthlessly killed more innocent people after killing his mother, and the headlines in major media are "Why? Why?" Jack Levin, a famous professor of criminal psychology at Northeastern University and the author of "Mass Murder: America's Growing Menace", was invited by the American public radio station NPR to analyze the background of the Connecticut school shooting. Professor Levin said that murderers who kill innocent people on such a large scale are usually very smart and have made long-term preparations for their crimes. Some even spend more than a year carefully planning. He said that the murderer may have experienced a severe blow in career or life, or lost a loved one, and has been depressed and unhappy for a long time. They may be withdrawn, have no friends, and rarely interact with others. For a long time, they blame the outside world for their pain, blaming everyone, but rarely reflect on themselves. Adam Lanza's psychological traits are very similar to Professor Levin's analysis. He was described by his classmates as being very smart, very introverted, and often acting out of the ordinary. Adam's parents divorced in 2009, and his brother Lan Lanza said that he has rarely interacted with his brother since 2010. Adam lives with his mother and rarely interacts with neighbors. He is withdrawn and his family is broken up, which may cause Adam to develop an extreme mentality. Professor Levin said that many people will experience setbacks and depression in life, and even have extreme thoughts of killing innocent people to vent their anger, but only a few people actually plan carefully to turn their terrible thoughts into cruel reality. Adam Lanza's mother was the first victim of the December 14 massacre and a key figure in the entire case. Adam, 20, was not eligible to buy a gun and the guns he used were in his mother's name. If it was his mother who taught him how to use a gun, and if mother and son depended on each other for survival, did her mother know when Adam was carefully planning the massacre? What role did she play in the formation of Adam's personality? These details may not be known until the future.
