Adam Lanza was reclusive, painfully shy and intensely bright. He also lived in a house full of guns.

Set on the brow of a gently sloping hill, surrounded by two acres of woodland
and well-tended lawns, the spacious property looked like any American
family's dream home.
A wide veranda had views across the gardens. A swimming pool, flanked by a
white pool house, was round the back of the two-storey building.
Yet behind the front door in the affluent Connecticut community of Newtown,
all was not well at 36 Yogananda Street.
Three years previously, in 2009, Nancy and Peter Lanza had divorced after 28
years of marriage. The break up was traumatic, leaving the couple's sons
devastated. Ryan Lanza was living away at university, meaning that his
brother Adam, four years younger, was left at home alone with their mother
at their £350,000 house.
