A 48-page report has been released by Connecticut's State Attorney, saying the investigation is closed and no charges will be brought. His motives may never be known.
Small details about the 20-year-old killer's life have emerged, including his obsession with the 1999 Columbine massacre and violent video games.

Lanza was heavily armed when he entered Sandy Hook Elementary School. He carried a Bushmaster semiautomatic rifle, a Glock pistol, a Sig Sauer semiautomatic pistol, and an Izhmash Saiga 12 gauge semiautomatic shotgun. In his house, police found a Savage Mark II rifle.

Computer files uncovered from within the home include videos showing suicide using a firearm, movies depicting mass shootings, a computer game titled: "School Shooting", video of children being shot, a document showing the prerequisites for a mass murder spreadsheet, a list of mass murders and a large amount of information on the Columbine massacre.

It is believe he acted alone, no one was aware of his plans and he had severe and untreated mental health issues.
"It is known that the shooter had significant mental health issues that affected his ability to live a normal life and to interact with others, even those to whom he should have been close. As an adult he did not recognise or help himself deal with those issues."

Left untreated, the outcome was ultimately devastating.
