HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut’s chief medical examiner says he’s seeking genetic clues to help explain why a shooter killed 20 children and six adults in a Newtown elementary school.
Dr. H. Wayne Carver tells The Hartford Courant that he wants to know if there is any identifiable disease associated with the behavior of the shooter, Adam Lanza. He is working with the University of Connecticut department of genetics.
Paula Levy, a mediator who worked with Lanza’s parents during their divorce, has said Lanza was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, an autism-like disorder.
Carver says Asperger’s is not associated with violent behavior. He says he’s not considering it as a reason for Lanza’s rampage on Friday.
Carver is awaiting toxicology testing results for Lanza and other information.
Lanza fatally shot himself as first responders approached the school Friday morning.

Maybe they should be investigating his history w/that school. There had to be a reason why he went back to that school specificly. Did something happen to him at that school to plant that seed of hatred, I do not know. I am just asking questions. Why that school and not his middle or high school?
Really it is enough about this person!!! We will NEVER truly know the truth in all this. He do not deserve a name or all this fame media too focus on him an not the victims in all this. You guys media have already destroyed his brother name without finding FACT first. His name is ruined cuz of the media then he has lost his mom too. Why not report just the FACTS and make sure you have the facts before reporting on this but why keep on reporting useless information on him an waste airtime giving him fame. Focus on victims and real news. Geez! Enough already
And what will he compare his genetic findings to?
Is there a gene for a vicious killer with no regard for humanity?
Love how people seem to want their “claim to fame” because of this! He could make up anything right now and most people will be like “Wow, the M.E. is really smart, etc.” and get all this fame. As keely said, enough with this scum we dont need to say anything else about him!
