DISTURBED Adam Lanza has been described as a loner who played computer games.
Adam Lanza killed his mother at their home in a well-off part of Connecticut before driving her car to Sandy Hook Elementary School armed with three weapons and gunning down 27 people including 20 children.
Lanza has been described as a "goth" a "loner" and a "genius" as cops try to work out a motive for the bloodbath.
Officials have also said the 20-year-old may have suffered from a personality disorder.
Lanza, who had had no criminal history, lived with his mother Nancy, who he gunned down at their home.
His aunt said her nephew was raised by kind, nurturing parents who would not have hesitated to seek mental help for him if he needed it.
Marsha Lanza said she was close with Adam Lanza’s mother and sent her a Facebook message on Friday morning asking how she was doing. Nancy Lanza never responded.
Marsha Lanza described Nancy as a good mother and kind-hearted.

If her son had needed counselling, “Nancy wasn’t one to deny reality,” she said.
Marsha Lanza said her husband saw Adam as recently as June and recalled nothing out of the ordinary about him.
Catherine Urso, who was attending a vigil Friday evening in Newtown, Connecticut, said her college-age son knew the killer and remembered him for his alternative style.
“He just said he was very thin, very remote and was one of the goths,” she said.
Adam Lanza belonged to a technology club at Newtown High School that held computer gaming parties.
Gloria Milas, whose son Joshua was in the club with Lanza, hosted one of the parties once.
She rembembered Adam's elder brother Ryan saying at one meeting: "“My brother has always been a nerd,” and added “he still wears a pocket protector”.
Joshua Milas, who graduated from Newtown High School in 2009, said Lanza was generally a happy person but that he hadn’t seen him in a few years.
“We would hang out, and he was a good kid. He was smart,” Joshua Milas said. “He was probably one of the smartest kids I know. He was probably a genius.”
