Four years before Adam Lanza killed more than two dozen people at Sandy Hook Elementary School, police had been alerted to his intentions. The man recounted overhearing a conversation with Lanza in 2008 ― four years earlier ― in which the killer had expressed his liking for assault weapons and his intention to shoot up Sandy Hook. “Lanza allegedly told [redacted] that he planned to kill his mother and children at Sandy Hook,” the document reads. “[Redacted] called the NPD and told them he had information about Lanza threatening to kill his mother and shoot children at Sandy Hook,” the document reads. In a statement to HuffPost provided by the FBI, NPD Chief James Viadero said his department does not have records of having been contacted in 2008.
