Fox News The prosecutor who led the investigation into the Newtown school shooting said it did not determine a motive for the attack that killed 20 children and six women.
State’s Attorney Stephen Sedensky III said there is also no clear indication why he chose Sandy Hook Elementary School as the target for his rampage other than the fact that it was close to his home.
He said the gunman, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, had significant mental health issues that affected his ability to live a normal life and interact with others but did not affect his mental state for the crimes. Lanza was obsessed with the 1999 Columbine High School attack, according to a summary report by Sedensky that was released Monday.
He said police went into the school within minutes of the first shots being fired and that along with the actions of teachers inside saved many children’s lives.
“Why did the shooter murder twenty-seven people, including twenty children?” Unfortunately, that question may never be answered conclusively, despite the collection of extensive background information on the shooter through a multitude of
interviews and other sources,” investigators said in a long-awaited report released Monday.
The summary report by Sedensky, the lead investigator, comes nearly a year after the massacre inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The Dec. 14 shooting plunged the small New England community into mourning, elevated gun safety to the top of the agenda for President Obama and led states across the country to re-evaluate laws on issues including school safety.
The report released Monday afternoon did not include the full evidence file of Connecticut State Police, which is believed to total thousands of pages. The decision to continue withholding the bulk of the evidence is stirring new criticism of the secrecy surrounding the investigation.
Dan Klau, a Hartford attorney who specializes in First Amendment law, said the decision to release a summary report before the full evidence file is a reversal of standard practice and one of the most unusual elements of the investigation.
“What I found troubling about the approach of the state’s attorney is that from my perspective, he seems to have forgotten his job is to represent the state of Connecticut,” Klau said. “His conduct in many instances has seemed more akin to an attorney in private practice representing Sandy Hook families.”
Sedensky said he could not comment.
Lanza killed his mother inside their Newtown home before driving to his former elementary school, where he fired off 154 shots with a Bushmaster .223-caliber rifle within five minutes. He killed himself with a handgun as police arrived.
Warrants released in March detailed an arsenal of weapons found inside the Lanza home. But authorities have not provided details on the police response to the shooting, any mental health records for Lanza and whether investigators found any clues to a possible motive for the rampage.
Sedensky has gone to court to fight release of the 911 tapes from the school and resisted calls from Connecticut’s governor to divulge more information sooner.
The withholding of 911 recordings, which are routinely released in other cases, has been the subject of a legal battle between The Associated Press and Sedensky before the state’s Freedom of Information Commission, which ruled in favor of the AP, and now Connecticut’s court system.
New Britain Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott said Monday he will listen to the 911 recordings from the school before ruling on whether they can be publicly released. He said his ruling would not come Monday.
If the recordings are released, the AP would review the content and determine what, if any, of it would meet the news cooperative’s standards for publication.

I not unlike many others have a problem with Sandy Hook. The main problem I have is no evidence of any kind has been produced on this event.
1. no blood
2. no broken windows or doors
3. no bodies seen removed
4. empty ambulances
5. terrible actors and actresses who are not very convincing
6. multiple conflicting stories
7. a child’s picture who was taken from Facebook but someone elses child.
8. people ambulating in and out of doors seem to be going in circles.
9. a coroner who doesn’t seem to know very much
10. time of events not accurate
11. children unable to claim gun fire but they did not seem to know what was going on or what to say.
12. buildings not where they really are green screen?
13. no death certificates which have always been public access
14. a mysterious boy Adam Lanza who is only shown as a young kid and the one witness they used to describe him from a friendship could only talk of him from her experience in grammar school.
15. no family interviews with Adam’s dad or brother, aunts or uncles rather odd
16. witnesses changing their stories in different interviews
17. Six hundred in the school and only a few seen being led somewhere by presumably a teacher
18. Mr. Rosen the worst one yet, he doesn’t call anyone over these supposed distressed children and report to the police or firehouse?
19. media compliant to the official reports asking little to no questions.
20. nothing more on the two men in the woods kinda dismissed if you ask me but a father shows up in cammies to make gingerbread houses?
I do not believe this to be a real event not even a false flag but a drill they turned into a drama.
GrinNBarrett,
Thank you oh so much for typing exactly what I would have typed. This whole thing is an HFC – Hoax False Flag.
I think its very strange, indeed, that the brother and father of this alleged killer have not made statements.
Control Via Fear – That is what they are doing. Fear the guns! Fear the young people! Fear! Fear! Fear!
The insane do not require a motive. After we closed the booby hatches, we simply gave them a handful of pills and turned them loose on the street. What did you expect might happen? C’mon people!
You don’t honestly believe Lanza actually killed anyone, or was even there that day, do you?
Sandy Hoax was a Hollywood production, and a bad one at that.
No one was actually killed during the making of this movie.
The people responsible for this tragedy got exactly what they wanted. A person to shoot children with an .223 Bushmaster assault rifle. This provides the excuse to ban all assault rifles across American….that’s their goal, to disarm all Americans. The reason this kid went crazy and shot up the school is the same reason 90% of all school shootings happens. Big Pharma anti depressant drugs, or phsycho tropic drugs, Zolof, Prosac and others. Ever notice when you or I are involved in a car accident and someone is hurt the cops take your breathe test and blood samples to see if you are high on something. Ever wonder why they never did this on the Sandy Hook shooter? Actually they did do blood tests but it’s never allowed to be made public. Because then the general public might piece together the truth. Big Pharma prescription drugs is the main reason people shoot up the schools. Period.
horse shit again….
The kid did NOT have a Bushmaster ar. It was found in the car in the school parking lot.. He was found with a handgun. Tell the lie enough and maybe someone will believe it. If the kids were killed with a hp rifle as the Dr. said, then who did it, if Lanza was found with a hg and the Bm was in the car unfired…..two men walking away from school and let go???? What crappy police work. To many unknowns about this situation…
“No motive determined in Newtown shooting, report says”
Naturally.
You have to have an actual crime for a motive to be needed.
Even if the children were killed..would we be surprised? They killed 3000+ on 9/11 without batting an eye and people STILL believe their BS story.
Just another false flag engineered by the govt. and that is the motive.
