Authorities believe he is now in Maryland. He won’t be coming back to CT willingly.

Maybe if some of the anger and fear many of us have about this now were directed into real violence prevention it would be constructive.

I believe Bob and the rest of society would love to see these events stopped before they happened. No kidding.

Was this guy crying out for help? how do you know when a mental illness comes about.

Apparently he had covered his apartment with writing... You have a fair point-- We won't only know.

On the other hand, authorities certainly knew Adam Lanza was mentally ill, and, repeatedly made failed intervention attempts.

Nothing is 100%. Just a sad state of affairs.

but he was also outspoken as a gun control advocate in the wake of Sandy Hook.
One never knows I guess.

What kind of intervention attempts did authorities make?

Actually according to kids I know that went to UConn with him, he didn’t act that crazy. The wall writings were kind of the only sign. He had friends at school and even girlfriends. He hid it well. Jay

According to CT state police, he is in custody in Maryland.

He was just caught in Maryland by a Connecticut State Police detective in a foot chase. Jay

Now hopefully, like every wild animal, he is caged for the rest of his life.
