Redacted search warrants released by prosecutors Thursday found Newtown gunman Adam Lanza to be a reclusive shut-in with access to numerous weapons and a large quantity of ammunition, according to CT News Junkie’s Hugh McQuaid.
The documents released Thursday morning by prosecutors come a week after Gov. Dannel P. Malloy called for more information on the ongoing investigation into the Dec. 14 murder of 20 first-graders and six educators at an elementary school in Newtown.
Malloy’s request came amid criticism from lawmakers over a leak of previously undisclosed information by the state police. Legislative leaders have been working for weeks to negotiate a bipartisan bill in response to the shooting and have requested as much information as possible to inform their legislation.
