In the weeks leading up to the first anniversary of the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, a number of events has brought the tragedy back into the spotlight long before the December 14 anniversary.

First, Connecticut officials released on November 25 a report on the massacre that concluded the shooter, Adam Lanza, had acted alone, but that his motivation for the attack "may never be answered."

The report broke down the minutes and seconds in which Lanza approached the school, shortly after 9:30 a.m., shot out its windows and began his murderous spree that took the lives of 20 children and six adults.

The rampage ended at 9:40:03 a.m. when the report says the last gunshot was heard. "This is believed to be the final suicide shot from the shooter in classroom 10," according to the report.
