Even as Americans grieve over the death of 27 people, including 20 children, in the shooting in Newtown, Conn., many are also wondering how anyone could wreak such a horror.
Adam Lanza, 20, is suspected of killing the children, in addition to his mother, a kindergarten teacher at the school on Friday, according NBC News. Lanza was also found dead at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Clint Van Zandt, an MNSBC analyst and former FBI profiler, and Josh Weiner, a psychiatrist, tried to make sense of the disturbing murders on Friday’s Hardball.
Van Zandt said anyone who kills their own mother is “capable of doing anything.” He added, “What did his mother do? She was a kindergarten teacher. She had children that loved her and she loved them…When he shot his mother and turned on those children, those children were part of his mother and she was part of them. He killed what his mother loved.”
