We do not know if Lanza had a mental illness - he apparently had Aspergers syndrome, which is a developmental disability,not a mental illness, and is rarely associated with violence.

Er, what? Didn't you just say "we" didn't know?

What we do know is that there are reports of multiple issues. Given time, some number of said reports will be revealed as true or false.

I'd say there's very little "established" beyond the basic info. Who knows what will be made public as the investigation progresses?
