Before he killed 26 first-graders and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Adam Lanza schooled himself on mass shootings.

And one of the shootings he was particularly interested in was the 2006 shooting at the Nickel Mines Amish schoolhouse in Lancaster County, sources said.

The news recently was released, along with details of what was recovered from Lanza's car and home following the December shootings in Connecticut, in which Lanza also shot his mother and later took his own life.

Sources familiar with the investigation said Lanza appeared to be particularly interested in two mass killings: the Nickel Mines shootings that killed five Amish girls and wounded five others, and the 2011 spree in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik in which he killed 77 people, eight of them by setting off bombs in downtown Oslo before he shot and killed 69 others at an island summer camp.

Revealed: The never-before-seen photo of Newtown killer Adam Lanza and the college records which show he refused to identify his own gender

By James Nye, Thomas Durante and Daily Mail Reporter

PUBLISHED:14:56 GMT, 2 April 2013| UPDATED:15:00 GMT, 2 April 2013

A never-before-seen photograph of Newtown killer Adam Lanza has emerged, along with college records which include new information about the gunman including that he refused to identify his own gender when asked to do so in college documents.

Lanza attended Western Connecticut State University for less than a year after his mom withdrew him from Newtown High School when he still only 16.

When asked his gender on a student background information form, Lanza wrote 'I choose not to answer.'

I'd still like to know why Adam was withdrawn from high school since it appeared he liked the tech club and such. Has there been any reason given, if so, I can't remember except that Nancy didn't like the advice she was given or didn't want to follow it (can't remember if that was overall or specifically mentioned in relation to leaving high school).

Adam Lanza, 20, was enrolled in Western Connecticut State University from 2008 to 2009..."He started in summer of 2008..." His overall GPA for the six classes that he completed was 3.26," said Steinmetz...

Gleaned from the article:

A- website production
A computer programming course
C ethical theory.
A- American history since 1877

W German language
W data-modeling computer science

I wonder if he took many of these courses online? They seem to offer totally online and partially online with requirements for some in-person meetings.

• On-Line (for Online classes) or
• Hybrid Course (for classes which are a blend of online and in-class instruction)

Here's a suggestion for all educational institutions. If you have a prospective student who refuses to give such basic information as his/her gender (and is not further explained by having gender confusion issues) or other very basic info on themselves, admission should be denied. Period.

College is not a "right", if you can't or won't play the game you can't go.

But as Adam entered his sophomore year at Newtown High School, Novia thought the boy was making progress.

Adam "would master [technical tasks] very quickly. But still to get him to speak one or two words, it was very, very hard," Novia said. "But over time I was able to get closer and closer to him, to a point where I felt that I could sit next to him and he wouldn't pull away."

He said Nancy Lanza recognized the progress and acknowledged it.

"Yes, she did. She saw it working," he said. "Not just her. Administrators, teachers, all the students that were around him would report that slowly, but surely, he was coming out."...

"So suddenly, when she pulls him out of there, he loses all those support groups," Novia said. "He loses the tech club team he was involved in. He loses friends that he had made to a limited degree. He loses his special ed, he loses his school psychologist, he loses the devoted school administrators."

Lanza decided to withdraw her 16-year-old son after ongoing disputes with the school district over what she believed was the inadequate care and attention he was receiving.

Her sister-in-law Marsha Lanza revealed over the weekend: 'Nancy had issues with school...She battled with the school district.

* When he was freshman at high school he was flagged to the school security chief
* She withdrew him when he was 16 after ongoing disputes about his care

Meh... I don't know if the gender thing is so important. They should say you MUST answer if that is what they want... so they need to play the game also if it is required.

Under Heavy Security, N.R.A. Details School Guards Plan

By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

Published: April 2, 2013

WASHINGTON — With the Senate set to debate gun control legislation next week, the National Rifle Association on Tuesday made good on its promise to develop a plan to train and arm security guards at every school in the nation.

The recommendation, among 225 pages of proposals to improve school security, was the culmination of three months of work by a task force led by Asa Hutchinson, a former Republican congressman from Arkansas, who unveiled the plan before a packed news conference with an unusually heavy security presence, including a bomb-sniffing yellow Labrador retriever. A dozen officers in both plain clothes and uniforms stood watch as Mr. Hutchinson spoke; before the event began, one of them warned several photographers to “remain stationary” until it was over.

Is the NRA going to pay for this also? And, it would just turn schools into more prison-like settings. We can't even find money for more teachers to lower classroom size - maybe something that would help kids like Adam Lanza, not to mention ALL kids. Of course, it doesn't help if the parents pull them out of school and diss all the professional advice they are getting.

To put it point blank - I don't want the NRA involved in our schools.

I believe the gender question is to do with discrimination, i've seen it on job applications.

Did Nancy feel the need for Adam to be totally in her control to be totaly dependent on only her- did she need to feel needed? Was she playing a martyr role.

On the couple of times Adam made social progresse she removed him, - and what did Nancy tell Adam was the reason for the removal.? I'm doubt she said- oh Adam you seem to be doing better you need to leave there- or did she blame it on the schools etc?
I do not understand that womens logic.. JMO MOO

"The horrible, brutal truth is that 154 bullets were fired in four minutes, killing our children, our daughters, our wives. The shooter carried 10, 30-round large-capacity magazines," Hockley said. "We have learned that in the time it took him to reload in one of the classrooms, 11 children were able to escape. We ask ourselves every day — every minute — if those magazines had held 10 rounds, forcing the shooter to reload at least six more times, would our children be alive today?"

Academic Details, Photo Released on Newtown, Conn. Elementary School Gunman Adam Lanza

Tuesday, Apr 2, 2013 | Updated 4:40 PM CDT

Adam Lanza in an undated photo released Tuesday by the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General.

Newly released documents on Newtown shooter Adam Lanza's brief college career add a few small details about his life but do little to answer any questions about what motivated him to kill.

The Western Connecticut State University paperwork, released Tuesday, outline Lanza's attempts, after completing his high school credits early, to continue his education.

In May 2008, just after his 16th birthday, Lanza took an algebra placement exam, saying in his background questionnaire that he did not want to indicate his gender or anything about his background. He scored a 95.9.

That summer, Lanza took two computer science classes, earning an A and an A-minus, the documents show. He followed up in the fall with another computer science class, which he withdrew from, and a philosophy class titled "Introduction to Ethical Theory," in which he earned a C.

Lanza began the spring 2009 semester with classes in German and American history, but apparently dropped his studies soon afterward.

The records end there.

Adam Lanza is really thin in the college identification photo. He is much thinner than Seung-Hui Cho and Gertrude Baniszewski. He looks really cold on top of his bulging eyes, which I have seen in Lori Drew, Casey Anthony, Diane Downs, and Sharon Chanon Velazquez. It suggests they all bottle up their anger over time as they are severely repressed in nature.

This is NOT for the wackjobs to read anything into, but I've gotta say this photo of the killer looks manufactured. I'm NOT suggesting any tin foil hat conspiracy just saying between his Children of the Corn photo and the above photo that I guess the killer doesn't photograph well because his photos look odd.
