Nancy Lanza, the mother of Adam Lanza, was killed in her home before the Connecticut school shooting took place, according to ABC News. Adam Lanza reportedly shot Nancy Lanza in the face before driving his mother's car to Sandy Hook Elementary School, according to the Associated Press.
Adam Lanza then reportedly killed 20 children and six adults at the Newtown, Connecticut school before pulling a gun on himself. Two 9mm handguns were found at the scene of the Connecticut shooting, per NBC News. Adam Lanza also reportedly brought two semi-automatic pistols and an automatic rifle to school. CNN reports that three of those guns were legally owned by Nancy Lanza.
