Report: Gunman had not visited shooting ranges recently
Federal agents said Adam Lanza had fired guns at shooting ranges over the past few years but there was no evidence he did so recently in preparation for the massacre, the Associated Press reports.
A spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said the gunman and his mother both fired at shooting ranges and had visited ranges together.
Debora Seifert told AP there was no indication "that the shooter engaged in shooting activities in the past six months."

The most disturbing feature of the rampage is what we do not know. We still have no idea why Adam Lanza acted with this cowardly savagery.
The loss of the children is incomprehensible
There are reports claiming that Adam Lanza went to the school a day before the massacre. They say he had a major confrontation with staff.
