The reasons for the killing remain unknown, but The New York Times noted that Lanza had no difficulties to overcome the security of school because the director of the school opened the door, since they already knew that the mother of Adam, a former school teacher, who was no longer working at Sandy Hook.

Lanza killed himself upon hearing the arrival of the first emergency services.
