Default More on possible Lanza motivation...

Speculation, of course...

Nancy Lanza, the mother of the Sandy Hook shooter, was in the process of
having her son committed to a psychiatric facility when he went on the
mass shooting spree, a lifelong family acquaintance told Fox News.

A senior law enforcement official also confirmed that 20-year-old
Lanza's anger over his mother's plan is being investigated as a possible
motive for the Newtown shooting.

"From what I've been told, Adam was aware of her petitioning the court
for conservatorship and (her) plans to have him committed," said Joshua
Flashman, 25, who grew up not far from where the shooting took place.
"Adam was apparently very upset about this. He thought she just wanted
to send him away. From what I understand, he was really, really angry. I
think this could have been it, what set him off."

It's unclear whether Adam's mother, Nancy Lanza, was really filing the
paperwork, because court officials say that such records are sealed. But
she would have gone through a longer process to get legal rights to
commit an adult to a hospital or psych ward against his will.

UPDATE: The New York Daily News reports that an unidentified friend
claims Adam was withdrawing from his mother -- and the world -- in the
days leading up to the killings. The person, who claims to be close to
Nancy Lanza, said that the mother took Adam to a psychiatrist, but
wasn't planning on committing him to a facility. Neither report has been
confirmed by named police sources.

Nancy Lanza reportedly volunteered with kindergartners at the school for
several years. Flashman said that Adam "believed she cared more for the
children than she did for him." On the day of the massacre, Nancy was
Adam's first victim. Flashman told Fox News that Nancy was also good
friends with the school's principal and psychologist, both of whom were
killed during the incident.

Lanza had also reportedly cut off communication with his father, Peter,
in 2010.

When did your children cut off communication with you? What does that
say about them or you?
