General Electric has decided it will no longer help America buy guns. Not that America needs much help.
Since the morning of Dec. 14 last year authorities have kept a tight lid on how much information was made public during the investigation into the Sandy Hook massacre. Thursday morning that will change. A court order to seal several documents related to the case is set to expire and when it does, the documents will be released.
New York Daily News sports columnist Mike Lupica's one-source "exclusive" blaming the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre on video games and Lanza's seven-foot-long spreadsheet of death paints an unsubstantiated portrait just when the mental-health community and Congress are seeking answers on Lanza, video games, and truth in the face of NRA talking points.
Frontline finally aired the findings of its weeks-long investigation into Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza, his mother, and his mental health on Tuesday night. Answers were not among the findings.
A new report claims that killer who shot 26 children and teachers in Newtown, Connecticut, believed that he was "in direct competition" with a notorious mass murderer, but after a closer look, the basis of that claim seems pretty shaky.
Over two weeks after he opened fire on a school full of children, killing 26 people as well as himself and his mother, Adam Lanza is heading to his final resting place.
In a rare and now controversial investigation, scientists have been asked by Connecticut's medical examiner to study the Sandy Hook shooter's DNA for clues about his violent behavior — but the genetics community doesn't think that's such a good idea.
Perhaps the most talked-about moment from the NRA's already eventful press conference came when Wayne LaPierre called out the "corrupting shadow industry" of video games — then cited 10 year old titles like they were good evidence.
There was one piece of legislation introduced on the Senate floor yesterday in response to the Newtown shootings. It came ahead of any of the legislation from Sen. Dianne Feinstein or Vice President Biden's new commission. It was about video games. Why?
After spending several days trying to extract data from Adam Lanza's damaged computer, investigators say they've come up short.
Researchers have found no connection between autism and violence, but that hasn't stopped the mainstream media from harping on Newtown shooter Adam Lanza's apparent bout with Asperger's syndrome. It hasn't stopped the emotional responses, either.
An official at Newtown High School has said that the Sandy Hook shooter appeared to feel no physical pain, suggesting he may have been congenitally insensitive to it. Research has shown that such conditions can sometimes lead to empathy problems.
There are conflicting reports as to whether Nancy Lanza, the mother of suspected Newtown shooter Adam Lanza, was actually a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Cautious to repeat accidental identifications, and working off leaks from federal agencies as local police remain mum, the media hasn't relayed too many details about his life. But here's what's out there so far, with the first photo.
Apologies flooded the web late Friday afternoon for connecting a CNN report with the alleged Newtown shooter's brother by way of his Facebook profile.
