Police say 20-year-old Newtown, Conn. resident Adam Lanza killed his mother in her bed before his Dec. 14 school rampage that left 20 children dead and 6 other adults. A motive is still not known.
Meanwhile, those who live in Newtown prepared on Monday to observe Christmas. Tiny, empty red stockings sewn with the victims’ names hung from trees in the neighborhood where the kids and staff were shot in Sandy Hook Elementary School.
