It's worrying how estranged AL was from his brother and father (seemingly). I wonder the reasoning behind it.

Western Connecticut State University records cover Lanza's brief tenure between the summer of 2008 and spring of 2009, after he had completed high school early, WVIT-TV reported.
The records show that in 2008, Lanza earned an A and an A-minus in two computer science classes, dropped a third computer class, and got a C in a philosophy class — "Introduction to Ethical Theory."
In 2009, he took a German language course and American history. He got an A-minus in history, but no grade was recorded for German.
After the December massacre, the college registrar asked the professor to enter a grade, NBC News says.
If it's possible to determine a motive for the massacre, there may be clues in Adam Lanza's journals, which state police seized from the house and turned over to the FBI for analysis. But authorities say that so far no conclusions have been reached.
"The relative said Adam Lanza never seemed emotionally right after his time in Sandy Hook. Nancy Lanza switched him to another school after sixth grade.
'He was a sick boy,' the relative told The News."
Lanza's Mom, not any gun law, was most responsible

Henry, a $55,910-a-year processing technician at the medical examiner's office in Farmington, had been placed on paid leave a few days after the Dec. 16 incident, pending an administrative investigation by state officials.
She is appealing the firing through a grievance procedure in which a state employees' union is representing her, said Chris DeFrancesco, a communications officer at the University of Connecticut Health Center, which handles human resources matters for Carver's office.
Henry declined comment Friday.
"Your actions … discredited this agency and the people we serve," Carver wrote. "Although you now indicate that this was not your intent, I cannot be confident that you will not repeat this or similar behavior in the future."
Sources have given the following account of the Dec. 16 episode that led to the firing: Henry and her husband entered the refrigerated room at the medical examiner's facility in which bodies are kept pending autopsies. It was the morning of the day when a postmortem later would be performed on Lanza. They went to the gurney where Lanza lay. Henry unzipped the bag so her husband could look at him, closed the bag, and then they left the room.
Selenia Velez remembers the near daily phone calls from the pre-school, alerting her that her 2-year-old son had acted out aggressively and needed to be picked up immediately.
The calls went on for months, as Velez, 27, of Hartford, and her husband bounced between the pre-school and their sons pediatrician, who recommended that they take him to a psychiatrist for an evaluation. But the psychiatrist was booked and held them at bay, as Velez watched her sons behavior deteriorate.
We just felt hopeless, the mother of four recalls of her oldest son, now 7. It was one of the most heartbreaking things you can go through as a mother. I was scared of him I just didnt know what was going on and no one had answers.
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) An organization composed of Medal of Honor recipients traveled to Newtown on Monday to honor the six educators killed in the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society said it chose Rachel D'Avino, Dawn Hochsprung, Anne Marie Murphy, Lauren Rousseau, Mary Sherlach and Victoria Soto to receive its Citizen Honors Medal, the highest award it gives to a civilian, after receiving dozens of nominations for their actions during the shooting.
The women exemplified courage, sacrifice and selflessness in trying to protect students from gunman Adam Lanza, the society said in announcing the honor.
The organization also planned to honor every other member of the school's staff with a Certificate of Commendation.
